About the Book

Elena has all the sweetness and femininity that her money and social position make irresistible. So she's the jewel every Puerto Rican boy covets to crown his dreams. But her life revolves around a carefully concealed lie and all her goodness cannot save her. She learns early on that only bad girls can keep the devil at bay. Joel is the heartthrob a girl dreams of meeting on the dance floor and taking home to Mami. He's got everything going for him and all of it paid for with his own sweat. But he's also got an ominous past he cannot escape. And he's not sure if machismo is an outdated concept or the only way to keep his family safe. First there was Maria. Then there was Elena. In between them a string of other victims. Joel saw it all. And he echoed the question, "Have women been born to suffer?" Both Joel and Elena are fleeing the intoxication of true love, both are feeling the bite of hand-me-down shame. Both are keeping secrets to conceal their rage. Where is the end to darkness? Where will the dawn come from? If love is not enough, and desire can't take you there, then only the truth can end the generations of pain. ----------------
About the Author: Rhea Harmsen is a scientist, novelist and author of LANGUAGE OF THE SPIRIT (1997), a volume of selected poems. She has also released three novels, THE HARVEST OF REASON(2011), INTERMARRY(2013), and GOD CREATED WOMEN(2013). Harmsen was born in a family with a black father and a white mother at a time when interracial marriage was still illegal in some states. Her parents gave her a vision of world citizenship that informs her writing and her lifestyle and has caused her to reject traditional views of race and gender. Harmsen's article "Science in the Hands of Women: Present Barriers, Future Promise" appeared in World Order in 1998 and provides the foundation for the story line for her novel THE HARVEST OF REASON. She co-published the Monroeville Race Unity Forum Bulletin and authored many poems on racial topics, crystallizing the "conversation on race" in the novel INTERMARRY. Her work with domestic violence survivors in Puerto Rico inspired the novel GOD CREATED WOMEN. In 2012 Harmsen released ISAIAH'S LONGING, a CD of her spoken word poetry with music by composer Lee Robinson. Harmsen holds a doctorate in Plant Breeding and Plant Genetics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has two children and currently resides in Puerto Rico with her husband. Upcomming projects are described in her web page at rheaharmsen.com
