River’s Rowan is the story of bullying, of abuse, and of hope. It’s the story of five teenage girls, one sixteen-year-old boy and a psychotic father bent on protecting his child even if means destroying another. Even if it means becoming a murderer. As a bonus, I’ve added an entire section to the site, that includes homework assignments directly from the girls, where you can learn more about each of the five main characters.

Thank you to those who have already responded to the request to share your stories about bullying. In the vein of gathering more research, I’d love for you to take a short poll on your thoughts on the subject. This poll is 100% confidential and it does not ask for your name, age or location. It does ask for your e-mail, so that, if you take the time to share with me, I’ll offer the first ten people who participate a free copy of the book when it is released. However, this is totally optional and you don’t have to provide an e-mail address if you’d rather not.

While I am seeking research to support the book, I also genuinely, honestly want to connect. I truly believe that the way to let go of something is to (repeatedly) share it. Let’s bring hope back into the darkness.
