Strong. Brave. Powerful.

by Cheryl Lejewell

Book Overview

Audrey Montgomery was good at keeping her past behind her, even after her attack went viral. Caught up in her prestigious career, it was easy to hide her insecurities behind a gleaming chef jacket. But when Audrey is captivated by NFL quarterback Chris Wilson, she realizes that her past isn't as far behind her as she thought. He doesn't know about her history. He doesn't ask any questions. Haunted by his own dark secrets, Chris keeps their burgeoning relationship where it feels safe--just on the rickety side of stable. Unreservedly inviting each other in could threaten their relationship, careers, and entire identities.

When Chris' past is exposed, Audrey struggles to overcome her deepest insecurities. She does believe in second chances, but for some, a second chance is two too many. Will Audrey be able to live up to her name and give herself that second chance, or will her past control her future forever?

Strong. Brave. Powerful. is a women's fiction novel raising awareness of the aftermath of domestic abuse for both men and women. Without graphic description, I highlight a major issue in America today that rarely gets discussed outside of celebrity news stories. Domestic abuse has lasting effects on those it touches including the victims, their friends, and their loved ones. Strong. Brave. Powerful. brings attention to the topic while telling the story of strength and recovery. It also includes so many of my favorite things: cooking competition, plenty of strong women, good food, a little humor, and a bit of football. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Warmest wishes,
