Anyone who knows me or my work knows I don't shy away from tough topics...especially domestic violence. Earlier in the year, I read this amazing book and should have told you all about it. It's called SPLIT and it's by Swati Avasthi and it blew me away. Here's a description:
Swati's debut novel is narrated by 16-year-old Jace Witherspoon who drives 19 hours straight after finally hitting his father back. He shows up on the doorstep of his brother, who he hasn't seen or heard from in 5 years, with a few bucks, his re-landscaped face, and a secret. Split is about what happens after, after you've said enough, after you've run, after you've made the split.
Right now, Swati is on a one-month-long blog tour and is running an auction that will benefit The Family Violence Prevention Fund. PLEASE check out more details below. And BID!

A personal topic close to my heart. I actually keep the Domestic Violence Hotline number:
In the US
1(800)799-Safe(7233)
UK
0808 2000 247 - in my messenger bag, just on the offchance someone may need it. One such card saved my life once upon a time. (Hugs)Indigo
