Exciting news! My young adult novel, Run Away Home, is now up on Kindle!
Although I am still hoping to someday have it published and
available in hard copy, I decided to take the plunge and put out a digital
version.
Run Away Home is the story of sixteen
year old Alissa who has bounced between foster homes and her drug-addicted
mother for years. When her brother, Trent, learns that their mom is about to be
released from prison and wants them back, they decide upon a plan of action
that will take them from Bakersfield to Seattle in search of the father neither
of them remembers. Faced with the possibility of a future without her brother’s
protection, Alissa is willing to do almost anything to avoid landing in her
abusive mother’s care again. As they make their way north, Alissa knows that
even one slip-up might mean the difference between finding a safe home or
ending up back in the system. Frightening situations, new friends and
unexpected betrayals force Alissa to grapple with the unintended consequences
of her decisions and ultimately compel her to decide whether to blindly follow
her brother or find a way to break the bonds of her past. Run Away Home is the captivating story of a teen girl’s search for belonging
that stretches our understanding of what it means to be part of a family.
Tomorrow, 4/18/2012, this book will be available FREE for
the Kindle! Let me know what you think!
