 New from Regal House Publishing, The Meaning of Fear, a psychological crime dramaA researcher's affair with an officer threatens the truth about her husband
About The Meaning of Fear Amid the turmoil of the 2008 recession, Lea Johnson, a behavioral researcher of post-traumatic stress disorder struggles to save her marriage. When her husband, Jay, is brutally attacked during an attempted robbery, Lea is shaken to realize that being an expert in fear doesn't make her an expert in healing her own husband's trauma. Things take a dark turn when Jay confronts a young trespasser outside their home, only for the boy to be reported missing shortly after. Lea begins to suspect that Jay is hiding something, and as she feels a growing attraction to the sympathetic cop investigating the case, she's torn between her loyalty to her husband and the urge to uncover the truth. Praise for The Meaning of Fear "What a bold, wise writer! I am in love with Laura Thomas' luminous, empathetic worldview. She is a connoisseur of interiority and nuance...The narrative delves into the lasting effects of trauma and abuse, masterfully detailing how perceptions based on personal experience and bias sometimes lead to misunderstandings and misjudgments. The story highlights the ripple effect of all our choices and offers the reader a powerful picture of what it means to be human: the messiness and beauty and the enduring capacity for hope." — Kelly Fordon, award-winning author of I Have the Answer "...'Controlling the female segment of the population is critically necessary.' And so the suburban cull begins. When forests become farms and farms become housing developments, wildness and violence, we're reminded, remain. Thomas is a master of this landscape, and in her exploration of the place where fear drives her characters between the instinct for revenge and the longing for mercy and forgiveness. A great read." — Susan Neville, award-winning author of The Town of Whispering Dolls Publication Details Paperback: 284 pages ISBN: 9781646036783 US $20.95 / CAN $28.95 Epub/Mobipocket ISBN: 9781646036790 US $9.99 / CAN $13.99 Available at bookstores, online retailers, and direct at the publisher's storefront (https://regal- Distribution: Independent Publishers Group 814 N.
