Wings of Glass

By Gina Holmes

Description:

On the cusp of adulthood, eighteen-year-old Penny Carson is swept off her feet by a handsome farmhand with a confident swagger. Though Trent Taylor seems like Prince Charming and offers an escape from her one-stop-sign town, Penny’s happily-ever-after lasts no longer than their breakneck courtship. Before the ink even dries on their marriage certificate, he hits her for the first time. It isn’t the last, yet the bruises that can’t be seen are the most painful of all.

When Trent is injured in a welding accident and his paycheck stops, he has no choice but to finally allow Penny to take a job cleaning houses. Here she meets two women from very different worlds who will teach her to live and laugh again, and lend her their backbones just long enough for her to find her own.

Why the author wrote this book:

I grew up watching my mother in abusive relationships and swore I would never be in one. Years later I found myself in the emergency room lying to the doctor about how I came to need stitches. Now that I'm on the road to healing, I'm burdened for those still in the eye of the storm of domestic abuse.
