The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat,
known suffering, known struggle, known loss,
and have found their way out of those depths.
{Elisabeth Kubler-Ross}
Today we’re bringing to you a few new things on our #PressReleaseThursday, and they’re all packaged into one lovely new title. If you’ve perused our current collection of amazing titles, you’ll notice one under-represented genre: contemporary fiction. No magic, monsters, fantasy worlds—just real, and raw, life. That’s what we’re super excited to bring you today in the form of our newest author, so please join us in giving the warmest welcome possible to new REUTS author Nicole Tone, and her NA story Lake Effect:
“Sophie is doing her best to recover from the death of her fiance, but moving on has never been her strong suit. Caught up in a cold, lonely Buffalo winter, an affair with her mentor seems like it will help her numb the pain, but things only go from bad to worse. Lake Effect addresses the effects of depression, PTSD, and loss with experienced elegance and respect, emphasized by Tone’s emotional prose and realistic story. If Sofie doesn’t choose to heal, it could cost her more than simply the life she’s built for herself; it could cost her life.”
