The Truth About Letting Go, is on sale for 99 Cents this week/weekend (FREE in Kindle Unlimited). It's been three years since I wrote the story, but I still remember the emotions behind it so well.
I've never lost a parent, but at the time I was going grieving a different sort of loss. My life had taken a turn I never anticipated, and I was reeling with the pain of it, trying to understand why God would do this to me and my little family.
I won't go into details, but I'll just say I poured all that frustration and pain into this book in the form of Ashley trying to understand the sudden death of her father.
Some readers have sent me messages saying I got it exactly right. Some have said they identified with Ashley and the way she felt and acted after losing their own parents. Others said while they didn't react so violently to the loss of a loved one, their siblings or others close to them did.
Those are the most gratifying emails I ever receive.
The Truth About Letting Go is not always an easy read, but it was nominated as a finalist by The Kindle Book Award in 2013. I appreciated that recognition so much.
The story does have a happy ending, and we do find our heroine on the road to recovery by the end. I hope you'll read it and "get it." If you don't, that's okay.
Stay cool~

THE TRUTH ABOUT LETTING GO
By Leigh Talbert Moore
Two days ago Ashley Lockett's dad died. Her world fell
apart, her mom withdrew, and her older brother "callously" returned
to college to resume his normal life. Only life will never return to
normal for Ashley--at least that's how it feels.
Rejecting her "queen bee" status, she befriends
Jordan, a budding film director, and Charlotte, the daughter of a local shop
keeper. They each help her forget the pain for a little while, but can they
stop her from going off the rails with the new bad boy in town?
A story of faith,
forgiveness, and the power of friendship.
