Flying Free is my, Christine Campbell's third published novel. You can learn more about it on various posts on my blog cicampbellblog.wordpress.com This is a contemporary novel, romance and drama, centred on a woman's road to recovery as a victim of child abuse.
When Tom asks Jayne to marry him, he unwittingly opens her personal Pandora’s Box, and now she can’t seem to close the lid on all that rushes out at her, whirling her into a cycle of self-sabotage. Unable to commit to a relationship, she pushes Tom away…along with everything else that’s important in her life. There are things she had chosen to forget. There are others she can’t remember even when she tries. What she does remember is fear. Feeling emotionally trapped by her past, her biggest challenge is to break through its bars and fly free. Then she finds someone to help her make sense of what’s happening, but, instead of slamming the lid shut on all that has been let loose, he helps her open it wider and makes her face her fears in order to overcome them. Remembering the past helps her make sense of the present and allows her to begin the process of healing and she finds that, as in the fable, there is one last thing left in the Box. That thing is hope. But, when she is ready to commit to a relationship, will Tom still be waiting?
