Today's blog post is a first for me, a cover reveal for a friend and author, Cheryl Rainfield. If you missed the interview I had with Cheryl a little while back, check it out here. I have blogged about Cheryl's books SCARS and HUNTED previously. Click the titles to jump to those reviews. I am currently reading Cheryl's most recent release, PARALLEL VISIONS, which will be reviewed shortly afterwards. But, today brings us Cheryl's upcoming book, STAINED, which details the story of a girl who must become her own hero.
Here is the official description:
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
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, kept my own sense of self, and escaped. I hope readers will see Sarah's strength and courage, and appreciate her emotional growth as she reclaims herself.
