Awaken

The Awakening of the Human Spirit on a Healing Journey

Beschreibung

** A Mom's Choice Gold Award Winner ** When nineteen-year-old Lacey Lockhart is killed by her possessive, controlling ex-boyfriend, she is trapped inside the body of Lisette La Tour, a straight-talking, no-nonsense stripper, wounded by childhood abuse who dances under the stage name of "Attila the Hunny." Lacey and Lisette share the spotlight on stage as well as on an urgent journey to avenge what has happened to them. Inspired by a true event, Awaken is a gripping account of the awakening of the human spirit that brings on healing and recovery, set against a world of obsession, abuse, and abandonment. This fictional story also demonstrates the warning signs of abuse in a relationship and the importance of finding respect, trust and support in a healthy one while on the journey from victim to survivor to "thriver."
