Blown Away
Don’t judge a book by its cover! Nothing, and no one, is EVER what they seem.
Ellen Christenson escapes from an abusive life, but does one ever escape the scars that are left on their soul? One must move on, one must try. But life has a tendency to circle back to what one once knew and she finds her life choices bring her back to the scenes of her abuse, to deal with it finally and fully, in ways she had never thought she would deal with. It is then that the healing can begin, as she repairs her soul and the people she has devastated along the way.
Ellen hadn’t ‘intended’ to end up in Silicon Valley and its high tech world, but due to life and it’s circumstances she finds herself the head of a startup tech company. Cool, calculating, efficient, she shows the world a side of her that she really isn’t, few if any know the real Ellen. Nearby San Francisco provides her with plenty of girlfriends. That elusive one, that soul mate, she has a hard time recognizing due to the scars within.
Living with the choice of letting someone die for their sins, for years, Ellen is ‘blown away’ by the feelings and emotions she has bottled up for so long….

Loved this book, the characters had me interested in finding out more about them and their stories. Research had clearly been done into the history of technology advances and added to the credibility of the story. finished the book in just 2 days, couldn't put it down. Would love to see a second book following the characters.

As always K'Anne Meinel does not disappoint. Can't wait for her next publication.
since i just re-read it i changed it to a 5 star rating.
Id really like it to be a series. Pls pls pls make a sequel.
75% mark of the novel could've progressed a bit faster.

I can't explain to you just how much I enjoy this author's ability to tell me a story. This wasn't my favorite book she has written but its up there. It did not make my tornado anxiety flair up as I feared and why I kept this book on the back burner. No regrets. Ellen really had a hard life growing up but watching the person she became was even better! And the fact that was so rich didn't hurt the heart. I loved this for her.

She will draw you into the story so deep resurfacing to acknowledge the “real world” will be frustrating. Books with substance are her thing and I can’t get enough.
