| STRIPPER POLE TO HEAVEN by Hunter Hayes is a story of two friends, Lisette and Cynthia. Lisette Jones is a single mother of a teenaged daughter. After the death of her daughter’s dad, and in order to maintain the comfortable lifestyle she had been accustomed to, she lands a job at Club Bare working as a stripper. Here she transforms herself into her persona “Golden.” Golden is the highest-paid stripper at the club and a favorite amongst the patrons. As soon as Golden exits the building, Lisette is dressed classy, front and center at church, whether it is to hear the Word of God or for choir rehearsal. She is a Christian woman who is determined to raise her teenage daughter with the same values. Did I forget to mention her daughter is clueless on Lisette’s profession?
Cynthia Miller is Lisette’s best friend. She is the only one that knows Lisette’s true profession. Cynthia is a high-ranking company manager at Target Marketing. Cynthia is married to Clyde, a man who is unappreciative and mentally and physically abusive. Cynthia has a close relationship with God and trys to find the good in most everything. Eventually Clyde takes things too far and it leaves Cynthia on her knees praying to God and realizing that a change needs to be made.
STRIPPER POLE TO HEAVEN by Hunter Hayes is a story of friendship. A friendship that stands the tests of time, that does not judge nor condemn one’s choices in life. I had to laugh in the very beginning of the story; it goes from Golden working the pole to rushing out to church choir practice. This is not your typical read by far. There did appear to be repitition of some scenes. Aside from the back and forth, STRIPPER POLE TO HEAVEN was a good read.
