Abalone

Description

A provocative psychological drama for readers who loved Black & Blue, Gone
Girl, The Lucky One, and Safe Haven Eighteen-year-old Liz is in her final year
of high school when she meets James Macewan, an older student who is
struggling academically and wrestling with his own demons. What begins as a
simple tutoring assignment soon grows into her first dating relationship. Liz
initially enjoys the excitement of being with James, but it does not take long
before she cannot recognize who she is as an individual anymore. As James’s
own life begins to unravel, he compensates by attempting to control every
aspect of Liz’s existence. The situation eventually dissolves into a tale of
violence and dehumanization that affects the characters’ lives forever. J.G.
MacLeod describes the fear and uncertainty that often come with the cycle of
violence and allows readers to journey alongside Liz as she attempts to
confront her abuser and heal from trauma. Travel to the isolated town of
Abalone Lake & experience the rush of first love, the pain of domestic
violence, and the gravity of a decision that changes everyone’s lives forever.
