Dallas—August 11, 2009—Abandoned by her father as a baby, Rebecca Easton lived in a world of fairy tales and childhood fantasies, dreaming about a father who would one day rescue her from her from the explosive impulses of her mother’s rage. At 16, after a life of physical and emotional abuse, Rebecca struck out on her own in search of love she felt she never received as a child. At 38, Ms. Easton decided to combine a lifetime's worth of journal entries together, make it Fiction, and write a story to reveal her challenges.
These novels are a narrated chronicle of events that Ms. Easton has seen throughout her life. Although it's fiction, this story resembles Easton's life journey. This makes it a powerful read because it's a story about real people with real emotions all wrapped up in passion, conflict and embellishment. To read one of her novels is like a thrilling roller coaster of emotions. At times you'll want to shake her and scream, "Wake up!" Other times you will want to cry when you learn about the circumstances she had to endure. These novels are real as real can get; straight down to the ground - down to earth. If you're not the woman in the story you will know someone who is.
In her first published novel, The Trophy Abyss, Easton reveals the fantasies of her main character, Beverly, a desperate young woman searching for the love she desperately needs. When Easton was a young woman she believed that only a man could give her the deepest love she sought so desperately. This novel is a un-paralleled journey of Easton's own failure to find herself in the arms of lustful and often cruel men.
Easton chronicles our main character, Beverly’s escape from the deceptive clutches of a succession of men, who promised to accept, love and care for her, but who delivered only heartache. It is an emotional narrative of a young girl’s distressing struggle to escape from manipulating and controlling men who put her in harms way for their own interests. Easton recalls the naivete with precise language that helps define the fantasies of a young girls mind. The story unfolds miraculously fast so that readers feverishly turn pages with recollections of their own mirrored desires from their own youth.
After surviving, the death of her unborn child, the abandonment of the man she desperately loved and the abuse of her past, Beverly fear to survive on her own allows her to fall into the clutches of a deceptive character who turned her into an exotic dancer and used her for his bidding. She stumbles naively down a twisted path of self-destruction trying desperately to survive her tortuous fear in a world void of real love.
The Trophy Abyss, the first book of a trilogy, is the story about Beverly White's fierce determination to overcome her fear of rejection and build her life on her talents and gifts. Easton says, "It's really a novel about finding inner hope, and struggling to find value in yourself despite that it's easier to believe the hyper-criticism that comes from being raised in a world filled with rage and un-forgiveness."
Surrender, the next novel in this series picks up where The Trophy Abyss leaves readers. This story is an explosive narration of what had happened in Beverly's life when she was a small girl to leave her so fearful. Readers are torn between sadness and hatred for new characters as antagonists are introduced and Easton reveals the truth that some tragedies don't just happen abroad. The story unfolds in a tell all fashion as secrets are revealed and truths are identified leaving our main character stripped of any sense of self that she'd ever known. Her perceptions were twisted, the truths became a lie and now our main character Beverly must learn to define herself by her actions.
Leaving the past in the past and turning the page while facing the very people who professed to love you but consciously chose to manipulate and destroy you, leaves our main character desperate to put the pieces of her emotional well being back in tact.
"This novel is really about what true forgiveness is. You cannot experience what I have and look those people in the eyes with love in your heart without understanding that only real forgiveness can give you that gift." The novel twists and turns down some harsh paths as it's a novel full of adult emotions and situational turmoil. Many characters are eliminated, many that readers never thought would change do just that, and there is an introduction to some multi-dimensional new characters.
It's a heart warming story about coming to terms with the choices you've made in life and how those choices can affect your whole life. It's about forgiving others, but this novel is really about learning how to forgive yourself and that action you'll probably have to do many times in your life.
Next in line is Give My Tiara Back, a novel about re-claiming one's youthful spirit at any age. Ms. Easton is currently writing this novel for submission.
