Author Danielle Martell was the lucky winner of this past week's Tearjerker/Tragic Tuesday free author promo! Her book, High by Day, Drunk by Night is due for release July 2013! A young girl growing up in California tries to cope with the after affects of abuse, but her choices in doing so leads her down the path of destruction.
Synopsis:
Anne grew up in a small town in California. She was quiet, sweet, and to a strangers eyes, she was untainted. Her world took a turn when child protected services came into her family's life. She never knew the abuse she was subjected to every day, was only the beginning, until now. As Anne grew older, she discovered the child abuse flash backs haunted her every moment of every day. She runs away from her family, escaping CPS and befriends abusers of alcohol and drugs. Believing this was a way to close the doors of her past, she soon finds it only opens new ones to unrelenting addictions. Will Anne be able to defeat her demons before its too late? Or will the drugs make her past haunt her again when suicide comes into the picture?
I am looking forward to reading this work due to it being about an issue close to my heart; physical and sexual abuse.
