STRANGERS IN PARADISE TPS
by Terry Moore
Strangers in Paradise (SIP) is the story of three friends, Francine, Katchoo, and David and the people they fall in and out of love with. It's a tale of dark pasts and hopeful futures, double-crosses and true friendship, love, and hate. In other words, it's a story of real life, kicked up a notch, a sometimes-heartwarming, sometimes-heartbreaking look at life and the relationships that we stumble through.
