A little reading

I got an email last week from Robert Eggleton, about a novel he has written, Rarity from the Hollow:

[quote]Lacy Dawn, the protagonist, is a victim of child abuse from an impoverished hollow of a rural state who overcomes by empowering others and ends up saving the universe. She is a composite character based on children I met when I was a Therapist in a mental health program. A percentage of any profits will be donated to prevent child abuse in West Virginia.[/quote]

Sounds like an interesting novel. I’ll have to keep an eye out down at the library for it, or just order it if not. It should be available from the publisher

If you happen to read it, let me know what you think of it!
