Reviewing "Finding Beth"

The word "captivating" comes to mind when I think of Linnette R. Mullin's book Finding Beth.  Tomorrow is the magic date of its official release.  However you can also order a copy today through Crossrivermedia.com   or Amazon.com.  My recommendation is get one right away.

Finding Beth drew me in from the very first chapter--actually the first few sentences.  Beth's story is one that I would recommend to young ladies to read.  It gives insight into the trap of abuse so many fall prey to.  Kyle--her abusive fiancée holds her captive in a relationship that will eventually destroy her if she cannot find a way out.

I further recommend it to anyone and everyone who enjoys reading a story that will keep them turning the pages in anticipation of the next page.  Although it is fiction, it is a story all too relevant to the world we live in-- that replays over and over as women endure silently  horrific lives of abuse.

An all-too-perfect new friend appears in Beth's life when she runs from the aggressive Kyle.  The lingering question--"is Adam for real" causes her to wonder.  After all, Beth thinks maybe she is to blame for Kyle's domineering behavior and constant critical comments.  She is wary of Adam's chivalry and kindness.

Beth's father blames her for her brother's tragic death--making her vulnerable to the hovering Kyle who has swooped into her life like a vulture.  The author takes us on Beth's journey in an artful way, making the reader feel Beth's anguish.  As Mullin creates this "masterpiece" of fiction--she weaves life lessons through the pages making it impossible to put the book down. 

The value of this story goes beyond being a good read.  It gives a valuable message of warning against abuse in a relationship.  I give it a 5+ star rating.  Make it your next book to read!  :)
