Sisters First (Arc 1)

The first arc of adult drama novel series Sweet L.A. Life hit bookstores, created by Maryam Wells. The series portrayed the lives of two very different sisters and their friends, connections, family and lovers in the trendy Greater Los Angeles, California city of West Hollywood. The series was highly popular and was Wells' highest rated series. It was a stretch for the novelist to write a series about the portrayal of the LBGT Community.
