Crack in the World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781630663476)

Maribeth Shanley lives in Myrtle Beach, SC, with her husband Bob Bibb. Once retired she decided to try her hand at writing. "I've always loved to write and dreamed of becoming a writer. Never did I imagine, however, it would actually happen." Although writing from personal experience, Maribeth decided to create a whole cast of characters as she describes the pain of molestation. "I gave Emily, my central character, a support group early in her life. I feel that strong support groups are so important to children suffering from any type of neglect or abuse. It's the very mechanism that helps them think outside the box in order to do things they would otherwise be too intimidated to do."
