Hey Everyone!! :-)
It's the 18th again, so time for my #IndieBooksBeSeen monthly indie author book review!! Enjoy! :-)
Three Rules by Mary Drake:
Hope seems like a normal young woman, but the secrets she hides behind her eyes are tearing her apart. The question she needs to answer, and only she can answer it, is can she find her way through the jumbled of razorwire of self-loathing and oceans of pain her past abuse has left her in and learn to accept other people into her life, again? Or will she succumb to the darkness?
This was an enjoyable read, but there were some extremely heavy undertones. The author is a survivor of abuse, and it shows in her writing. The story is one of healing, but it doesn't shy away from all the hurdles that those on that journey must overcome. The main character, Hope, not only comes to terms with what happened to her within herself; she also finds her voice so that she doesn't have to remain buried beneath all the secrets. But it isn't easy and the effort required takes its toll on her. This is definitely a five-star read, but be prepared because being allowed a glimpse this far inside the mind of someone who has suffered through severe trauma is not at all a comfortable feeling.
