Hey guys,check out my new Novel!! Life Will It Take Me Under by Joan L. Sample Life sometimes may take us down rough roads to make us realize the value of a peaceful and happy existence. Kim Washington was a vibrant, pleasant young woman who appreciated life and love. A true fighter, she had the best of her parents' strengths - her mother's vigor and her father's courage.

It was when her father passed away that the fire in her eyes died. Like sand washed away from the shore, her pulsating energy and zest for life eroded. How will her family deal with problems when the normalcy was gone? Follow an emotional account of a young woman's ultimate fight and a family's struggle for acceptance and forgiveness with Life, Will It Take Me Under, penned by Joan L. Sample.

Being the eldest of three children, Kim assumed several responsibilities after her father's death without any complaints. However, problems started to plague the family when Myra entered the picture. The daughter of the family's house tenant, Myra was into drinking and cutting classes. It was not long before the Washington's realized that Myra was a bad influence on Kim.

It was through her that Kim became exposed to boys, drugs and sex - vices which eventually destroyed her. Gradually, the once-peaceful home turned into a miserably chaotic abode beset with fights and confrontations. The young lady who was once filled with humor has turned into a cranky, often unpleasant woman. With the omnipresent temptations lurking, Kim had a hard time dropping off her habits.

At the height of the events, she realized that she contributed much of her hassles to her family and fled. How will things turn out for Kim after leaving? Life, Will It Take Me Under is a painful journey of a woman as she searches for the right path and a family's fight to bring back the peace in their home.
