I woke up this morning wondering what I was going to write about for today’s blog post. And then I read Ellen Morris Prewitt’s review of CHERRY BOMB and I knew I wanted to share it:
“Cherry Bomb, St. Mary of Egypt, and Redemption”
Ellen’s words mean so much to me, especially her praise for my depiction of Mare’s (the protagonist) days of living on the streets, where she went to escape the abuse she suffered first at the hands of her father and then from her foster father. Ellen spent seven years leading a writing group for homeless and formerly homeless people in Memphis, and then published a collection of their stories in 2014:
Writing Our Way Home: A Group Journey Out of Homelessness
Both of these books are full of hope and would make excellent Christmas gifts!
Happy reading!
