The Gaze, a novel, Genre: Women's Lit
Samantha Kay Reddick is a
survivor and survivors don't overcome their trials unscathed. Samantha bares
deep scars within and without. Regret and grief, and the pain from memories of
a man she once loved, are the demons she hopes to escape in a bottle of vodka
as guilt, real and imagined, tortures her heart.
For more than ten years, the maelstrom of her life grants her peace only in the emotions committed on a piece of writing the boy who changed her life wrote to the love of his life. In her mind, the way she felt while she was in his arms becomes the salvation she desperately needs and soon she's trapped into a fog of obsession that blinds her to the danger from a vindictive ex-fiance, who's sworn to destroy her.
In her quest to find Tony Amaya, Samantha finds that the girl behind his words still holds his heart. Through Gwen, Samantha inserts herself into Tony's life with the sole intention of stealing him. Her plan goes awry when Gwen opens the door to a friendship Samantha never thought possible and an inner battle ensues for Samantha's soul as her nemesis draws near. Will Samantha survive once more and if she does, will she become the woman she desperately wants to be or will she remain a woman who can't stand her own gaze?
