A scarlet dragonfly tattoomeant to be a beautiful, family mark of freedominstead becomes a prophetic brand to those who wear it. Fleeing from their less-than-perfect childhoods into adulthood... twin sisters, Olivia and Gabriella, and their younger sister, Emma, instead find themselves flittering back into a cycle that relentlessly clings to their family; a cycle they can never seem to escape in this Coming of Age story.
One mother and her daughters, bound by blood, begin their lives intertwined, but are forced to fight for their survivals separately, struggling to hide their fear and underserved shame from each other and the world. One of these women finds herself trapped. Alone. She battles to survive the terrifying darkness. With long hours of nothing to do but wait in fear, she grapples through obscure dreams and memories of the past.
Deeply evocative, Let Me Go is a suspenseful Coming of Age story, and something a little different from the New Adult genre.
H.M. Ward, #1 Bestselling New Adult author in the world, describes the New Adult genre (and it definitely applies to Let Me Go): "New Adult isn't about age, although the characters tend to be early 20's. Themes tend to revolve around getting acquainted with life, addressing darker subject matters. It's not about sex, either. It's about getting the rose-colored glasses of childhood bitchslapped off your face by the phenomenon known as life."
Watch for Captured Again, Book 2 of The Let Me Go Series. Coming January 2014.
