>PIMPS, WHORES AND WELFARE BRATS: THE STUNNING CONSERVATIVE TRANSFORMATION OF A FORMER WELFARE QUEEN by Star Parker with Lorenzo Benet

CONSERVATIVE ACTIVIST AND BUSINESS-woman Star Parker was a drug-using, welfare-abusing, petty criminal until she saw the Christian light. In this autobiography-cum-manifesto, written with PEOPLE correspondent Lorenzo Benet, Parker tells how she left public assistance in the 1980s, continued her education, began publishing a magazine for Christian singles in Los Angeles and ultimately gained notoriety as one of the Republican party's unlikeliest darlings.
