Turning the other cheek in the face of adversity and laughing at the challenges of life, Tara Walker portrays the epitome of growing up in a loving, middle-class family while intertwined with the dramas of reality, everyday life, loves, lusts, and tragedies.
Hightstown, NJ – August 31, 2010 –
Cheryl D. Bannerman, easily fills the shoes of nine-year old Tara Walker, as she takes the reader back in time with this gripping, heartfelt, work of fiction. The reader takes on the role of Tara’s best friend, as she describes the inspirational journeys of her life and family; from school age, to teenage years, and into her 20’s and 30’s.
The author, Cheryl Bannerman, has created a real "live" diary experience from the inside out; with the aesthetically-appealing, journal-like cover, interior typewriter font, and the language written in first person. Readers have already acclaimed that they felt "as one" with, and like the "best friend" of, the main character, Tara. And that they felt her pain and physically experienced her emotions during the ups and downs of her life.
The author quotes, "This work of fiction is not for the reserved or faint of heart and entices the reader to open their hearts and minds during this emotional journey." One critic called the book "Sexy and enticing" and "An easy read." And another reader commented, "I read it in two days; I just could not put it down!"
This books’ diary experiences will make you laugh, cry, scream, sigh, and gasp aloud, as Tara struggles to keep her head above water and fight through the tribulations of her life, while continuing to be successful in her career, and continuing to survive. It was only through her daughter that she eventually discovered the true meaning of unconditional love.
