May 20, 2012 - PRLog -- (Rhemalda Publishing, Moses Lake, WA) – The Breakaway (http://shop.rhemalda.com/product/the-breakaway.html) is a story of a teenage girl, Naomi Jensen, who is kidnapped by some unlikely criminals. During her captivity, Naomi faces some memories about her boyfriend, whom she now realizes was quite abusive. She also struggles with feeling neglected by her parents, especially now that she cannot reach them.

Drugs and other such issues might be discussed quite often with teens in this day and age, but how often is abuse brought up? Or neglect? Naomi’s story revolves around these themes, but manages to keep a lighter tone instead of going too dark. Teens will relate to Naomi, despite her odd situation, as she struggles to figure out how much her own decisions affect how others treat her. Sometimes the hardest thing of all is to break out of the victim role and learn to take control of your own life—even if it seems impossible.

Michelle Davidson Argyle lives and writes in Utah, surrounded by the Rocky Mountains. She loves the seasons, but late summer and early fall are her favorites. She adores chocolate, sushi, and lots of ethnic food, and loves to read and write books in whatever time she can grab between her sword-wielding husband and energetic daughter. She believes a simple life is the best life. You can find Michelle at her web site http://www.michelledavidsonargyle.com.
