If you never speak of
the past, can it be erased?
Lacey Edwards has a
past.
A past which changed her
life forever.
A past she is desperate
to forget.
Lacey is quiet and
reserved compared to her best friend Becca Fox. They became instant friends
when Lacey moved to Maryland nine years ago. Becca helped pull Lacey out of her
internal shell to experience life. By high school, Lacey was active in the club
scene and would occasionally have to drag Becca with her. One night, Lacey
realized she might be able to run from her past with the help of Becca and one
steamy Caine Rogers.
Lacey didn't know, until
it was too late, how feelings, honesty, heartbreak and life altering events can
change a person. Lacey has Becca’s support but will that be
enough?
Will Lacey sacrifice her
own happiness to do what is expected?

If the decisions you
make don’t define you, what price would you pay to change
them?
“Close your eyes. This
is the darkness I see, I feel, I live because of my
choices."
I spent my life running.
Running from my past. A past that changed my life, robbed me of my childhood,
and bound me for a life of silence. Silence protected me from further hurt.
When I couldn't control my life, I found reprieve in my silence. Dark, cold
silence. I’m trapped, trying to find my way out, trying to make a stand, trying
to finally live; but is it too late?
Lacey Edwards fought
emotional turmoil most of her life. She made choices that unknowingly put her
through more painstaking heartache. She found bits and pieces of happiness in
all the wrong areas except for one. This one gave her hope for a fresh new life
full of promises. Could she hold onto it, or would it slip through her
fingertips?

Author L.U. Ann moved to Colorado from the
Eastern Shore of Maryland with her husband and two children. Life in Colorado
is so much different. In Maryland, you would find her in the garden tending to
her vegetables and flowers, sea glass and shark tooth hunting once a week, and
enjoying the kids swimming in the backyard. Her life took a drastic change when
her family moved to their own “Little House on the Prairie" at an
elevation of over 6,000 feet above sea level, and a semi-arid climate that
makes it hard to grow anything. While barely anything can grow where she
resides now, the wildlife makes up for it. Mountain Lions, and coyotes, and
rattlesnakes, oh my!
She tries to spend a
little time each day writing, but domestic chores around the house usually take
precedence. She would much rather hide them from her husband. She tends to her
loving four-legged children who at times become much too demanding when she
locks herself in the office. This often results in MORE domestic work, and she
finds herself cleaning up after their deviant behavior.
At night, you’ll find
her begging the kids to go to bed so that she can catch up on the latest book
before her sister can. Yes, she is an avid reader who escapes her chaotic but
wonderful home to the feisty depths of romance land in search of her newest book
boyfriend. Shh, don’t tell her husband!
She is an artist by the
grace of God. She worked as a set designer for six years, helping establish a
local children's theatre where she was the scenery artist, set, and prop
designer. Before that, you would find her covered in paint, so engrossed in
painting a mural that time didn't exist. Graphic design is her guilty
pleasure.
Special Note From L.U.
Ann
I created this Young
Adult Edition to reach a wider audience. Lacey is nineteen years old and finishing
high school. The issues she faces are the very issues a teenager could be
facing right now, some possibly even younger.
This series deals with
heavy life issues. Issues that are real. It may not be for everyone, but it's a
reality for so many. I hope you take some valuable information away from
reading A Destructive Novel series. If anything, please read the resources
found in the back of each book.
Thank you for the
opportunity to tell Lacey’s story. My story.
