Violet’s Chapter One

Life’s Unpredictability 

Have you ever thought about the way life’s unpredictable twists and turns have affected your life, or the role fate and destiny play in it?  If you answered ‘yes,’ you may want to consider reading FOREVER VIOLET.  As you accompany Violet on her life’s journey, you will see how this young girl managed to meet and overcome those challenges.

“When I was a fifteen-year old girl growing up during the Great Depression of the 1930s, I endured the harsh reality of poverty and an unforgiving family environment.  Abandoned by my mother and abused by my father, I struggled against the emotional bondage that held me captive until I looked within myself to find the courage and the will to escape.  Determined not to be subdued or made a victim of fate, I fought against the bleak future that destiny had in store for me.  Perhaps by reading my story, you will be inspired to take up the challenges in your own life and overcome them.”

Forever Violet recently received an Independent Press Award in the Young Adult Category as a Distinguished Favorite for 2024.

Best,

Violet
