Story Behind The Book

Note from the author: This book series was a work of self inspiration. I took many aspects of my life and inserted them into the characters making them come to life. I have lived through much of the abuse Amelia endures (none as harsh as Amelia's whipping) and added my memories and feelings to her character. With this said I was able to place myself in Amelia's shoes and described exactly how she felt when she believed a man was attempting to hurt her, and the apprehension that ran through her body when she felt his kind touch.
