β€œPart 1 of 3: Living a Secret Life - Kristine's life seems perfect from the outside - she is beautiful, impeccably dressed, and smart. She can even hunt and shoot better than most men, thanks to the close attention of her father, a police officer. But she keeps a dark legacy hidden from those around her. Only Daniel – persistent and loving – is able to break through her protective shell to get close to her. When Kristine's shame comes to light in a violent, highly publicized event, her perfect life shatters beyond recognition.”

Well written and riveting, β€œKristine” is the story of a teenage girl who is forced to endure the unwanted attention of her father, himself a prominent man in their community. Locked into her own darkness, she struggles with right and wrong. Finally, in an explosive scene, truth and justice emerge.

There are three books in this series, all available at All on the Same Page Bookstore; author Bruce Lucas will be appearing in October.
