Crystal Light Behind the Scenes

My main character, Blanca from Crystal Light explores a secret past in Brazil. This leads her to a disturbing truth, further triggering and exacerbating symptoms of trauma including nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety, avoidance of intimacy or detachment, and sadness. Her nightmare doesn't end there, when a stalker is in her midst. Will she win out in the end as the stalker reaches closer to her prey?

The story was written as a way to inspire hope in those who have experienced trauma or victimisation, to create a connection amongst those feeling victimised. The main character shows determination and strength, which leads her to challenges and confrontation with the truth. No-one can avoid the truth as eventually it will grab them in one form or another.

Crystal Light is a book for entertainment and written as an inspiration of hope and resilience. As a Counsellor myself, I have encountered traumatic issues amongst clients, and am amazed at how those who've endured the worst imaginable tend to be survivors, and at times, will develop what's known as posttraumatic growth. I believe that my novella, Crystal Light speaks to those who seek connection when victimised or traumatised, and also speaks to those who are inspired by strong, believable characters that mirror their own innate strength (as we all have that strength but are afraid to use it at times, or need to find a way to access that strength).
I hope you enjoy reading Crystal Light.
