About This Book
A SKYLARK FLIES. 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 never 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.
