Plot Summary of Avenging Angel
"Born in a region where violence is commonplace, and brought up as a child soldier, Angie escapes and searches America for her father, but in so doing falls afoul of the law. Now she is pursued not only by her enemies but also by the police.
Angie is a child becoming a woman. After being raped at the age of 14 she is wary of men, but learns about love as she gets older.
She is relentlessly pursued by Morgan, the cruel Mercenary leader, for revenge and because Angie knows the location of a large amount of gold belonging to her friends. Morgan intends to steal the gold and murder all her friends. Angie is also pursued by US Federal Marshal Finlay, a sadistic villain who sees Angie as the key to busting a major crime ring.
As the story progresses, Angie comes to realize that running and hiding is no solution to her problems."
