Cries of Innocence

by Angela Beach Silverthorne

Overview

Suspense. Intrigue. Evil. Faith.
In the small coastal community of Silverton, an evil presence resides. Over time most residents have grown numb to its insidious and subtle presence. A few have resisted.
Seventeen-year-old Bren has lived a life of abuse, discrimination, and exclusion. She blames her father, the town drunk, for every misery she has ever endured. Instead of surviving within her situation like others do, Bren is fiery mad and begins to push against a system she can’t begin to understand. When her efforts fail, she decides to escape with her mom. They never make it.
Bren is whisked away to The Haven, home of her paternal grandmother, GG. Under her tutelage, Bren is awakened to a destiny she could have never envisioned. She learns about the truth and witnesses another side of life. In the process of self-discovery, she has to deal with her on weaknesses, fears, and unforgiveness.
As evil approaches Bren asks, “Who are we up against?” The answer strikes deep within her breast.
Can she stand firm? Can she look into the eyes of hate and forgive? If she can’t, her greatest fear will be realized.

About the Author

I was born in West Point, Georgia, but hail Williamston, North Carolina as home. Writing has been a part of my life ever since I can remember. I read and write in all genres. Both are my chocolate; they're addictive! In 1970, I married by teenage sweetheart, Dallas. Our family has grown from three daughters to seven granddaughters and three wonderful son-in-laws. In the large bulk of time between marriage and family, we moved ten times, and I worked various jobs - 15 years with Hospice, 10 with Literacy, 3 as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for neglected, abused and abandoned youth, and as a Director of a preschool for at-risk children. Between the moves and life, I craved learning. I attended five colleges, finally graduating from the State University of New York, Albany, with an English degree. Every school I attended, I'd fall in love with a new discipline - accounting, microbiology, creative writing, Shakespearean studies, or Young Adult Literature. Even now at sixty, I'm still searching, often wondering what I'll be when I grow up. Whatever it is, I'm sure writing will always be a part of it.
