Leaving Franny: A Dark River Crossing

The heroine of this gripping tale is a member of the largely forgotten class, whose small voices go mostly unheeded when they protest their fate. She is the child of an abuser, born into desperate conditions; she lives in a nightmare until finally as a teen she escapes under the cover of darkness, but the abuse she suffered has written an indelible message on her psyche and it colors her life. She becomes a news anchor, that’s why so many people think they know Faye Lawrence … but none do! Keeping secrets is not a choice for her it’s a compulsion, it stems from the crushing abuse she suffered during the first fourteen years of her life. Her self loathing is a remnant of that abuse as well; it drives her incessantly to achieve respectability, and normalcy. She loves Kenneth Murphy with an insatiable yearning; he’s her first lover ever! He returns her love, but there’s a catch … he already has a love. Can she win him? She struggles to find her ultimate destiny, and it’s all complicated by her childhood tormentor when he comes looking for revenge! Will she ever escape his blood lust?
