My 9 Reader 'Hot-Button' Considerations:

1.  World's Immersion:

"We bring what we wring."  Many authors will do everything they possibly can to write away from who they are.  Authors will wear the guise of character, subtly playing truths about what they actually know about living...not so, Rachel Thompson, with her courageous BROKEN PIECES.  The author unlatches dead-bolts to her own inner rooms, inviting readers through the door for a guided tour of her emotional dimensions.

Reading into these pages will sift deeply into the terrains of a damaging, addictive love.  The throes of heated passion spill over into shards of hurtful confusion.  A quirky fragility blossoms into womanhood, plucked at by the stalking, and untrustworthy.  An examination of ignorance or psychological terrorism...also finds those moments of transformation when trust renews, and hidden strengths stand up and over the shadows.

We will recognize these interconnected places of the heart.  When we admit to ourselves that we have walked in our own darkness...how we have tripped and fallen in awkward uncertainty of ourselves...and why, when the pain hurts in that strangely exquisite way, do we go back for the ecstatic bruising of a dangerous allure...these are the intersects where we meet Author Rachel Thompson in her brazen honesty.
