Dallas—August 11, 2009—Abandoned by the men in her life, 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 14, after a life of physical and emotional abuse, Ms. Easton struck out on her own in search of love she felt she never received as a child. The journey to find love ended in the truth that one must love yourself before you can ever genuinely love another. It's in this basic principal that Ms. Easton has written an amazing series of novels.
"To read one of her novels is like a thrilling roller coaster of emotions. At times you'll want to shake the main character 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, is a un-paralleled journey the main character's failure to find herself in the arms of lustful and often cruel men. Easton chronicles 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. 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's 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.
“I fell hook, line and sinker for the illusion that men would ‘take care of me,’” confesses Easton. “I wrote this novel as a process to uncover a simple truth that all young girls must face—you must believe in something greater than yourself. You must have solid values in which to build your life. If you allow someone to have control over your life, that someone will make your choices for you, and probably not in your best interest. When I blindly searched for my fantasized love and nothing else, I fell into the arms of unscrupulous men. They came to my rescue, but always for their own gain.”
Surrender, the next novel in this series picks up where The Trophy Abyss leaves readers. This story is an explosive narration of Beverly's friendships that she aquired along the path to maturity. Beverly's foundation is a boundary less existence where confusion is the norm and absolute certainty is absent. The story unfolds in a gal pal tell all fashion as secrets are revealed. Beverly must learn to define herself by her own actions and not by the actions of other people.
Leaving the past in the past and turning the page while facing the very people who professed to love you but consciously choose to manipulate and destroy you, leaves our main character, Beverly, desperate to put the pieces of her emotional well being back in tact.
It's a heart warming story about coming to terms with the choices Beverly's made in life and how those choices can affect her whole life. It's about forgiving others, but this novel is really about learning how to forgive herself and that action she will probably have to do many times in her life. The freedom that one feels from such an act is a powerful gift.
"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 was painful to write but a powerful story to read." Says Easton.
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.
