Synopsis

Taking a girl's voice is the same as taking her power.

This is a memoir about love and loss, secrets and lies. When a young girl from a broken family meets a charming man, she attempts to build a new life. But after a whirlwind marriage and the birth of two sons, their love story rips apart at the seams.

Exploring the impact of parents’ sins on the lives of children and the fates we endure for the chance to be loved, the story follows a mother navigating motherhood and womanhood - an abuse survivor emerging and learning to speak, to scream, to sing to her own wounded heart and to finally understand what it takes to be whole after breaking to pieces. Weaving the present and past together, the author reveals her truth in hauntingly evocative scenes.

As surely as the sun shines behind the grayest clouds, healing comes drop by drop. Like petals of rain.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Rica Keenum's interest in literature began in childhood, as did her author status. Armed with a set of markers and a stack of paper, she constructed her first book at age 9 -- a best seller in the making, according to her grandma. Although that book didn't garner commercial success, Rica continued to read and write and dream about reading and writing. As an adult, she landed in the medical field and worked there for more than a decade. The creative flame still burning inside her, she eventually segued to a freelance writing career by pitching articles to magazines and media companies. In 2009, she relocated to Florida with her sons and began living the final chapters of what would be her memoir, a tale of love, loss, and resilience. She currently works as a senior staff writer for an award-winning lifestyle magazine and is pondering her next book. When not writing, she's probably reading, practicing yoga, smooching her dog or sneaking chocolate almonds out of the kitchen cabinet, so as not to alert her chocolate-loving husband.
