Thirty

by Christine Soltis

Let's face it; the age of thirty is a big worry for men and women alike. It is a time where all of us question our paths, pasts and destinations. In this comedic and tragic tale, our main character, author Violet Errid, yearns to have the normalcy, the freedom of her pre-fame life. She wants to re-awaken and unleash the youthfulness within her. Violet sets off on a trip to Arizona...completely alone. As she waltzes into a more adventurous world, she strives to keep her celebrity identity a secret. Thirty offers female readers an adventurous escape, as we follow Violet through humorous, angry, elated and painful stages. While in Arizona, a mixture of joy, independence and anxiety wind a web, inevitably leading her to find love. But in the blink of an eye, her abduction by a human trafficking ring shows her the temporary torment of what it is like to be inside a fiction story. Copyright © 2011
