Friendship & Dangerous Complications
Young adult, Kendra, has written her first novel. It has been highly acclaimed, is very popular, and is a thinly veiled story about herself.
Kendra has suffered from writer’s block ever since receiving a note criticizing her book. She has convinced herself that it will lift if she writes at the remote lake where everything took place.
But removing that writer’s block is more complicated than that.
At first, she remembers the idyllic childhood friendship she had with Cami–that was ruined by the adoption of a much older brother. Despite being closer than sisters, the two have not spoken for years, and Cami is missing.
As Kendra delves into this, she finds she must face her long ago attacker. At the same time, she makes surprising discoveries about her parentage, and Cami’s feelings.
This is a difficult story to read, with an uncomfortable story-line that includes a traumatic attack, stolen virginity, and sexual abuse. Be warned, this tale is only for adults, or very mature teenagers. God is mentioned very little in this publication from a Christian House. I recommend this story only to those who would not be disturbed by the topic. Although it is a difficult subject, it is not graphic, and is a 5-star work.
