Hey! My memoir, “The Places Left Unfilled,” has been compared in GR reviews to “My Dark Vanessa,” and tells a very similar story. Sounds like you may enjoy it!
Very cool. I hope you find some hidden indie gems!
My book is a memoir, and contains some pretty challenging subject matter, so perhaps not your thing, but maybe you know someone who would enjoy it. 🙂
My memoir, THE PLACES LEFT UNFILLED, is free on Kindle through 10/20!
It’s currently enjoying a 4.09 rating on GR with 21 reviews, and has been referred to by readers as a “masterpiece” and a “must-read.” Description below:
Born to a single mother who would prefer she didn’t exist, Morgan has spent much of her young life in pursuit of one thing – a father. But when her close friendship with an older neighbor begins to attract suspicion, and connecting with her birth father isn’t at all how she imagined it would be, Morgan’s long-held hope begins to dwindle. That is, until, at the age of fourteen, Morgan meets Bill – her forty-five-year-old martial arts instructor.
At first a teacher and father figure who Morgan can confide in, Bill soon reveals that his interest in her isn’t entirely paternal. Despite her initial fear, Morgan craves the attention Bill is more than willing to lavish upon her, resulting in a several-months-long affair that will alter the course of both of their lives.
Spanning four years of Cauley’s adolescence, The Places Left Unfilled explores in harrowing detail the circumstances that may lead a child to find solace in their sexual abuse. Told with immediacy and remarkable candor, Cauley’s gripping narrative will stay with you long after you’ve turned the final page.
I’m going to go ahead and be corny and recommend my own memoir, The Places Left Unfilled, only because it seems to fit what you’re looking for. It’ll be free for five days starting 10/16.
