Synopsis

“She passed a hard candy over her shoulder as though whatever was in the tiny wrapper was supposed to make it all better. I clutched the peppermint in my hand and buried my face in the hard leather seat while she explained what was going to happen to me. She promised that I’d be safe from then on.”And so begins the journey of Naomi, whose amazing story picks up where the past and future intersect. As Naomi struggles to hide the ugly physical and emotional reminders that insist on haunting her dreams, she crosses paths with a young boy, Xavier and his bad-tempered mother, Mona, who both share an interesting story much like her own.Running from Solace is an emotional tale that will send you catapulting on a breathless journey beyond breaking points and will lead you to believe in the power of accepting what is to be.

Laushaul strings her words together so neatly and easily, pulling readers in with an almost melodic prose. Well-crafted. Gripping. Shocking. Awesome! - Monique D. Mensah, Author of Inside Rain

While I was reading this book I thought "what a great movie this would make." - Jane Devin, author of The Elephant Girl: A Human Story

To know that this is just a work of fiction is shocking because it is so true-to-life ...May just very well be one of the best books I have ever read! - Leona Romich, Urban Reviews
