Some Silent Hero [Paperback]

Clare Sheridan, Editor said:
'This is a debut novel by young writer Stephanie Brookes, and what a debut! This rip-roaring ...'

This novel has two levels. You can read it as a novel, as it is meant to be, and you can also look for the messages of self-empowerment that lie within. Most of us live lives of stress. We start on our life journey with hopes and dreams only to be faced with a barrage of hurdles to jump. We tend to think that success is only available for people on the telly! We often live our lives because the people around us tell us how to live it. We have dreams and abilities but succumb to the drudgery of jobs that we hate. Sometimes, perhaps all of the time, we are inwardly frightened of becoming what we really want to be. Often, all we need is someone who believes in us, to encourage us even when we fall. Someone who helps us to get up again and never, ever stops believing in us. A smile that never fades and always shines when they look and talk to us. This book is about choices. The choices that we all have in life. Individual choice is one of the most important spiritual laws. Stephanie tells the story of a young woman who decides to take control of her life, even if it means failure. Viv has choices just like we all do. She embarks on a path of self discovery. This book is about empowering you to achieve your life goals and to enjoy life to the full, just as you always dreamt it would be.

This is the first book of its kind that I can identify. It is aimed at young people from 15 to late twenties yet we have received letters from ladies in their 80's. All have one thing in common: they state that after reading the novel they felt better about themselves. One young graduate has changed her lifestyle as a consequence of reading the book. It seems that because the book is based on real events that it resonates with real people.
