Greek Angels in the LionÕs Den is a candid
and passionately written memoir, eight years
in the making, introducing the reader to a
motherless daughter. Nicolette worked hard
to discover her roots and identity while living
with a mean-spirited and abusive Greek
ÒstepmotherÓ and an aloof, womanizing
Greek father. This memoir addresses more than what one thinks exists in Greek households and what has been portrayed in a popular Greek film and its sequel. On the contrary, this memoir delves deeply into spousal and child abuse, alcoholism, ethnocentrism, racism, poverty, sports fame, health issues, the Greek underworld, sexism, arranged Greek marriages, and the effects these issues have had on the mental and physical health of those family members and friends.
