Censored Angel: Anthony Comstock's Nemesis (Forgotten Women Book Series) by award-winning author Joan Koster ➱ Book Tour





 Censored Angel: Anthony Comstock’s Nemesis

By Joan Koster

Book 2 in the Forgotten Women Series

Deeply researched, eye-opening stories about complex, historical women

A nineteenth-century mystic marriage counselor and her guardian angel battle the Inquisitor of Smut in this biographical historical novel based on a true story.

 

Brilliant, corseted, and haunted by spirits from the Borderlands, Ida Craddock turns her back on the constrictions of Victorian society and strikes out on her own, becoming a mystic marriage counselor. Sharing what she views as essential sexual knowledge puts her in the crosshairs of Anthony Comstock, the nation’s Anti-Obscenity Postal Inspector. She vows to bring him down. He promises to silence her forever. With prison looming, Ida and her guardian angels must prepare for a battle they may not be able to win.

 

CENSORED ANGEL is based on the life of mystic marriage counselor and First Amendment defender, Ida C. Craddock, the woman who helped bring down Anthony Comstock, of Comstock Law infamy, and whose defense led to the formation of the Free Speech league, antecedent of the ACLU.

“It just blew me away. What a story. It was so well written I was right there with her, seeing, smelling, and feeling everything along with her.” Diana Rubino, best-selling historical fiction author

 

“Thanks to Joan Koster’s skillful writing, I am even more passionate about the strength of women and their suppression through history. Keep uncovering these phenomenal stories. The Rose 5* AZ review
