Hooker Daughter Beggar Father Andrew S S Chan

This book is based on a true story which has been modified and dramatized by the author, with the intent to caution parents about the pain and risk of raising children. The arguments between children and their parents are intense and the crashes between them explosive, but they reflect the problems we currently have in our society - problems without solutions. Baby Angie was a princess of the family; she was beautiful and smart, and she was just too lovely not to be loved. Young Angie still had the same qualities and still was the princess of the family, but as she grew older she acquired other not-so-desirable qualities - vain, wanton, belligerent, and profligate - which were the end results of having spoiling parents. Many quarrels and fights with her parents after, she ran away from home and became a drug addict, a porn star, and then a hooker. Her life went to hell and her family was devastated. Fortunately, she had a loving and devoted father who had listened to an old neighbor's clever idea to rescue her, which required him to be a pseudo beggar, panhandling in the neighborhood where she lived and worked. The scheme worked out beautifully and she returned home to be the princess of the family again.
