Pre-Order STAINED By Cheryl Rainfield Today!

Today is official cover release day for award winning young adult author Cheryl Rainfield's new book entitled Stained. I have had the pleasure of reading and reviewing one of Cheryl's other books and I can tell you that you won't be disappointed with her new one! I hope that you are excited as I am for Cheryl's new release,  here you can learn more about it. 

Book Description: In this heart-wrenching and suspenseful teen thriller, sixteen-year-old Sarah Meadows longs for "normal." Born with a port-wine stain covering half her face, all her life she’s been plagued by stares, giggles, bullying, and disgust. But when she’s abducted on the way home from school, Sarah is forced to uncover the courage she never knew she had, become a hero rather than a victim, and learn to look beyond her face to find the beauty and strength she has inside. It’s that—or succumb to a killer.

Tag Line: Sometimes you have to be your own hero.

Release Date: Nov 19, 2013

Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

Message from the author:

Like I did with SCARS and HUNTED, I drew on some of my own experiences of bullying, abuse, and trauma to write STAINED and to give it greater emotional depth. Like Sarah in STAINED, I experienced abduction, imprisonment, periods of forced starvation, mind control, and having my life threatened. And like Sarah, I tried hard to fight against my abuser, keep my own sense of self, and escape. I hope readers will see Sarah's strength and courage, and appreciate her emotional growth as she reclaims herself.

Book Review: Parallel Visions by Cheryl Rainfield

Sometime's we need reminders that we are not alone in the trials that we face. As a domestic violence survivor I was encouraged after reading Parallel Visions by Cheryl Rainfield. The intended audience for this book is teenagers but really I think adults could benefit from it as well. Not only am I a domestic violence survivor but I am an advocate as well. I advocate for many causes such as depression, suicide, etc which were also touched on in Parallel Visions.

Cheryl Rainfield did a great job at showing how teens go through things and it is often covered up. As parents, we would like to believe that we know almost everything that there is to know about our children and that if something happens, our children would not hesitate to tell us. The truth is that when it comes to teen dating violence and even other issues that teens face, they are more likely to confide in their friends first in fear that their parents will judge them.

Oh I would love to tell you everything that happen but I will let you read it for yourself, I gave the book 5 stars, what will you give it? Read it and lets see! The review that I wrote on Amazon can be seen here: Parallel Visions Amazon Book Review.

Have you read it Parallel Visions or will you? if so or when you do feel free to come back and let me know what you rated it!
