Love Is The Reason Presents " Africa Plumbridge," A New Musical

Based On A True Story Of One Woman's Fight To

Save A Homeless, Abused And Institutionalize Young Girl

Chicago, IL July 16, 2003 - Love Is The Reason, LLC is releasing its newest endeavor, "Africa Plumbridge," the heart-wrenching story of a homeless and abused young girl lost in the system designed to protect, but instead, allows her to be exploited by the greed of those with the power.

Conceived by Chicago Philanthropist Sue Carey, her hope for this true-life story is that it create awareness for the protection of children and raises needed money for her foundation, Homeless and Abused Children's Charity of Chicago and its "Learn to Earn" program. "I wanted to tell my story of Africa in such a way that it would help as many children as possible," says Carey. Co-written with Karen Mendoza and Carson Grace Becker, "Africa Plumbridge ," a modern-day "Les Miserable," has all the elements of a hit Broadway show , but with a much higher purpose.
