It’s the year 1989 and Lakshmi Steinmetz is under attack. Hollywood’s guru of the moment is on the verge of fame and fortune with a message of love and forgiveness during the AIDS crisis. Some see her as a saint dressed in Donna Karan, but those who work for her see another side: a malicious, mercurial boss prone to degrading outbursts with an insatiable lust for fame. Into the maelstrom comes Tyler St. George, a failing screenwriter but a talented chef who stumbles into a world of New Age junkies when he takes a job in the kitchen of Manna From Heaven, a charity that delivers meals to people with AIDS. The organization, wobbly from its beginning, is constantly going broke and is rife with corruption. To its rescue comes Robert Bravermann, a former mayor and one of the world’s most beautiful men who does his job too well — and ignites a feud with Steinmetz that tears apart a vulnerable community.
Darkly satirical, A Bitch for God is a portrait of a time when hopelessness and desperation were exploited by charlatans for their own ambitions.
