The Choice
by,
A.J. Adwen
How
do you heal from your past when you're still trapped within it?
I lost myself the night
of the party. Just like that, my innocence and my sanity were torn away.
I would like to say
that time heals all wounds, but it doesn't. And I would like to say that
falling in love is what rescued me, but it wasn't. Nobody told me what to
expect in the coming days and weeks and months after conceiving a rapist's
child. Years later, my wounds are still just as fresh as the night they were
made. It would be so easy to disappear and allow the memories to consume
me.
But that's the choice,
isn't it? To live instead.

Author Bio:
Allison was born and
raised in the mountains of Oregon, birthed of the crisp, clean air and rainy
forests. She now resides in Oklahoma City, though she is still thoroughly
attached to her home and finds much inspiration for her stories whenever she
has a chance to return. As the spouse of a police officer and a full-time
photographer, she is on her toes 24/7. In 2013, she was a recipient of the Oklahoma
Next Generation award: an award given to thirty individuals under the age of
thirty in the state who have proven to be innovative and inspiring leaders in
the arts, entertainment, business, media, and other areas of impact.
Often told that she
has her head in the clouds, she couldn’t deny it even if she wanted to. Allison
began dreaming up stories long before she was old enough to write them. She
enjoys a variety of genres, including YA, romance, historical romance, fantasy,
dystopian, and anything else that hooks her interest. She prefers to write
books that tell gripping love stories in heart-wrenching, real, inspiring ways.
Her stories are deep and raw, taking the reader into a world that is richly
intricate. Readers often say that they are swept away and left reeling when
they have finished the last page.
Allison loves to
interact with her readers, and she does her best to respond to every email she
receives. To learn more about her, visit her Facebook page and follow along on
