(MENAFNEditorial) J.D. Myall
Domestic violence is a silent epidemic running rampant throughout the United States. Statistics show one in four adult women will be the victim of domestic violence and one in five teenage girls have been in a relationship where violence or self-harm were threatened if they broke up with the boyfriend.
J.D. Myall was a victim of domestic violence and has firsthand experience in living the seemingly “good life” in the music industry. During her youth she was featured as a groupie on the MTV documentary called The Social Story of Concerts 2004 with celebrities like rapper Ludacris Blink 182 Fred Durst and Kid Rock.
She shares some of her experiences along with co-author Becca Blake in her new “edu-tainment” novel Reckless Gravity. With a cover model and book trailer star that looks identical to Rihanna this book grabs attention from start to finish. It’s designed to entertain with a suspenseful story while teaching young women about the warning signs of abuse mental illness and dangers associated with risky behavior. The main characters much like Rihanna and Chris Brown struggle with domestic violence and a relationship where one partner has bipolar disorder.
Cherrie Lane finally has it all. After a neglected childhood where her musician father ignored her and her groupie mother abandoned her Cherrie has the family she always dreamed of in the members of her band Reckless Gravity.
And family means sticking together—even if it involves covering up a murder by one of their own. Years later when one of their own band members turns up dead an investigation threatens to uncover the sins of their past. Cherrie’s life is turned upside down when she’s forced to confront her past and reconcile it with the future she wants.
With the unmistakable stamp of authenticity Reckless Gravity:
Opens the door for communication about domestic violence
Educates men and women about the dangers of abuse addiction and mental illness
Exposes the dark gritty side of band groupies
Stresses the importance of leaving a violent and unsafe relationship before it escalates
Gives readers a raw uncensored truth so they can make informed decisions
“If I hid my scars my mistakes and the situations I’m not proud of no one could benefit from the lessons they taught me” stresses Myall. “So I expose myself. I feel like I owe my readers that kind of naked honesty even at the risk of embarrassing myself.”
