A Skylark Flies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780994133045)

Rose, a young Kiwi, is on a working holiday in the United Kingdom, to discover her roots. When in Scotland, she is subjected to a brutal assault by a local man, Tommy.

Their lives will ever be the same again. While Rose fights to recover from her emotional trauma, Tommy, a victim of a lifetime of abuse, struggles with guilt. The choices they make will ultimately determine whether they live life as victims or rise above it.

Inspired by true events A Skylark Flies is a poignant story of forgiveness. It gives the reader a window into the souls of two very different characters whose stories converge at critical points.

The assailant has power over the victim, induced by fear-and the victim has power to release him from his guilt and shame.
