Produktbeschreibung

'Rebel in Venus' is a gripping and heartfelt portrayal of two women picking up life's wreckage after trauma and learning about solidarity, honesty and hope. Through its inspirational tale of two survivors, Rebel In Venus allows its reader to discover the strength in letting go of what haunts you, in order to be free. Taking place in a post covid world, and inspired by cultural shifts, such as metoo, girlhood in America, and the power of sisterhood - this quick paced novel takes place over one night spent between best friends Maria and Layla. Over the course of their evening, Layla's memory is jolted, and her once carefully repressed past begins to return to her. Sexual revelations, high-school humiliations, unwanted pregnancies, unwavering friendships, sex work, divorce, and loss unfold across the pages. As the confessions unfold, Layla's anguished past starts to crystallize and challenges the strength of her friendship with Maria, as well as her own life. Will Layla learn to save herself in time, or will her past win over her ability to see the future?
