Running from Solace

Running from Solace by Nakia R. Laushaul

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Is child abuse a generational curse? Do hurt people really hurt people? This is a book that makes you really look at child abuse and view it from a different perspective. Naomi was abused as a child. Thanks to a "nosey" neighbor, she was removed from her mother's care and raised in the foster care system. As an adult, she worked as a social worker. She was called out to a case. Upon talking with the young boy, Xavier, she felt an immediate connection to him. The events following this case brought up old memories and caused some life changes for Naomi. She was forced to face some demons from her past.



I was pulled in from the first page. Running from Solace takes you on an emotional journey. You will feel a range of emotions. Each character has a story to tell. Laushul did an excellent job of introducing the characters and tying things together without losing you. I highly recommend this book.
