Voices in Lavender — Angela March

Psychological ThrillerThe nightmares didn't start right away, they started when the screaming stopped.That's when the voices took over…Whispers, whispers… murderer, murderer…Whispers, whispers… murderer, murderer…Whispers, whispers… murderer, murderer… Lavender Nolan was born into this world like everyone else. Some of us find our reality sooner rather than later. Opposition and struggle are all Lavender has ever known in her sixteen years.There's an ongoing conflict within the Nolan family, they know it, and the small town they live in knows it, all too well.Lavender's young mother actively struggles with her own personal demons, emotionally and psychologically. Her beloved grandmother lives in a constant state of denial about her daughter, refusing to see her only child for who she is, a self-involved monster. She never accepts it or comes to terms with it even as they watch their lives slip away because of her mother's bad choices.Why do we choose willful blindness regarding people and the situations that are clearly laid out in front of us? Clearly mocking, taunting, and torturing our souls.Are we born with a predisposed destiny or can we dig deep within ourselves to make our own and not repeat the past of others? Or do we accept the parts, the good, and evil that makes us who we are?Are we our own worst enemies, or could we, would we be our own saviors when needed? No one has ever said you have to be the victim in your own circumstances.The voices that live inside…Tells us,When to fight…When to run…When to surrender…And most importantly, when to save ourselves.
