About this ebook

For years, eighteen-year old Isabela Fuentes worked two jobs to support her promiscuous, alcoholic mother, but after the latest boyfriend rapes her at knife point, Isabela throws her few possessions into her car and drives until she reaches Lakeside, Montana, twenty-five hundred miles from New York City’s suffocating smog. As her bodily scars fade, she takes solace in the nature around her and records it in her sketch pad. It isn't until she begins sketching scenes from her rape that she learn to cope with what happened. But leaving her mother behind to fend for herself might have been a mistake; and when two strangers appear on her doorstep claiming to be her dead grandparents, they threaten the fragile childhood memories. Before she can rebuild her life, Isabela must decide to either let her past go or unite it with the woman she’s become.

We all make mistakes. My biggest mistake was my first marriage. But. The best thing to come out of that brief marriage was my first full-length novel. Despite the pain and confusion through a difficult time, the planets and stars aligned, and I was able to see a story all the way to the bitter end! Okay, that first novel actually ended in a very sappy, happy way, but still. I typed those famous last word: The End. That first novel was horrible. I promise not to tie you to a chair in my basement and force you to read it at gun point. Consider yourself blessed. I've learned a lot since then. The quality of both my life and my writing has improved beyond a point I thought possible. I am living proof that there is no limit to happiness, to contentment, or to the capacity to learn and love. My life has given me lots of writing material and insights into some of life's joys and tragedies. I hope to share the beauty of the human soul with you through the power of the written word.
