About the Book

Samantha Mallon has gotten used to the bruises from her brother, Charlie. The black-and-blue pigments are becoming harder to camouflage, and all the good hiding spots in her house are now non-existent. Most days, she keeps to herself, safely locked behind the door of her bedroom, praying Charlie won?t break it down if he gets angry?again. There are so many secrets to keep, that Sam is running out of lies to cover the abuse. Perhaps, one day a teacher will ask enough questions that Sam will not be able to keep up the charade. Finding reprieve from a battered childhood, Sam is determined to make the best of her high school years. With Charlie away at college, she develops some new friendships, and even catches the attention of a super-hot, bad-boy, Jake. Yet her happiness is always tainted by the family life she?s trying to keep secret, and it?s slowly destroying her hopes of love. After a heart-wrenching betrayal, Sam leans on a stranger?s shoulder for support. Fortunately, that stranger turns into the best-friend she never knew she needed. Able to get back on her feet, a familiar face re-enters her life?clutching Charlie?s arm? in a way that leaves Sam completely uneasy. Just when Sam thought Charlie had changed, his abusive past comes back to haunt them both. The hospital, the cops, and the courthouse are calling Sam?s name as she has to relieve one horrible night, over and over again to find the truth. The only problem ? the truth will send the one person she loves the most to jail. Will she find the strength to break the circle and free herself from abuse? Or, will she hold onto the family secret forever?

About the Author

C. L. Heckman, a small-town writer from Pennsylvania, grew up with a love of words. At the age of eight, she wrote her first song lyrics, and put them to a piano melody she had created. At the age of eleven, she began to write poetry, and entered her poems in many competitions around the U.S. Drifting from writing, she spent nearly twenty years riding and showing Arabian horses, and has multiple Regional Championship titles to her name. However, unable to leave the dream of writing behind, she continued to write any chance she got in the hopes of one day accomplishing her dream. When a high school history teacher advised her to be a writer, she ignored him, assuming that it was a far-fetched goal. However, almost a decade later, she finally took his advice and wrote Charlies Pond on the wordpad app of her IPhone from childhood journals she had in storage. Charlies Pond is based off of her memories, but written in a fictional narrative. The story is personal, and heartbreaking and she almost didnt publish it. However, since the publishing, Heckman has had some amazing opportunities to share the book with other victims, and offer support to them during their own individual journeys. After the incredibly positive response to Charlies Pond, Heckman, a stay-at-home mom to two beautiful daughters, has now written and published 5 more books. She spends most of her time outdoors with her two daughters, enjoying the simple things in life. She continues writing, but is exploring other avenues of artistic expression as well. Heckman loves to hear from readers and fans. Please feel free to contact her at the below options. C. L. Heckman- Author page on Facebook Follow @worry2faith on twitter Charliespond@hotmail.com
