Heaven: A Novel by Kimberly Cain

4.0

Heaven is a bold story about a stripper who finds spirituality through her dancing. It's an interesting, unique idea, and I applaud Kimberly Cain because she doesn't play it safe, doesn't portray strippers as pathetic, victims of society or weak-willed woman who should be ashamed of their sexuality; Cain actually tells a story of empowerment in an unorthodox but very real setting. Bravo for that. The writing style was hit and miss, but I applaud the idea and effort--this story is no easy sell, but I bought it willingly.
