.       The Wages of Sin is an original novel that takes place in the 1930s during The Great Depression. After Lillian McNeil’s husband is imprisoned and her relationship with her best friend becomes unbearable, she runs away with the charming outlaw Calliope Johnson. From that point forward she is swept up in a dangerous life, as Calliope’s gang commits robberies, evades the police, and fights prejudice from the outside world.

       Loosely following the events of the real story of Bonnie and Clyde, The Wages of Sin shows the struggle of complex people in a hostile, homophobic and racist world, and the value in being who you are truly meant to be.
