I get an awful lot of spammy press releases from self-published authors, but this one sounds pretty worthy.
He Can Get Away with Murder — Aren’t They All Immune?: “What kind of courage does it take to slip out of a damaged life? At fifteen, Hannah Stone runs away from her mother’s abusive boyfriend, determined to somehow help the rest of her family escape. She walks a tightrope and she knows it. She arrives in Manchester, NH at three in the morning, her savings are gone. The only path open to her is a modeling school that offers Hannah riches, but she does not know that the school is a front for prostitution and also offers a tormented life of lies.
Determined to escape, Hannah’s only weapon is an early gift from her mother — the knowledge that moral values, responsibility and accountability for one’s actions are the keys to self-esteem and happiness.
A stunning and sensitive story about a battered woman’s plight, “Even As It Stings” is not just Hannah’s story — it’s the story of many abused women.
This gripping novel offers insights and advice, and most significantly, hope to triumph over evil.
