Beyond The Next Star Reading: Trauma & the Hope for Healing

My heroine in Beyond the Next Star suffered abuse long before being abducted by aliens. In fact, it’s not until she leaves Earth, is mistaken as a pet, and sold like an animal that she actually finds a home. One of my favorite quotes is from Delaney’s POV when she’s still dealing with her trauma. Witnessing how her jaded outlook on life colors her perception of Torek, the hero, is both heart wrenching and hopeful. Watch this video to hear a reading from this scene!
