Grand Finale Celebration!
On tour with Prism Book Tours
Feeling forgetful? Can't remember where the heck you set down your keys? Your glasses?
We've all been there.
But . . . what if you forgot your life?
What if that life wasn't worth remembering?
In spite of the happy cover, I HAVE PEOPLE deals with the sensitive issue of domestic abuse. It is about learning to recognize a good man versus a bad one. It's about second chances and finding love, real love.
The overpowering message behind I HAVE PEOPLE is that verbal, mental, and physical abuse is NOT OKAY! EVER!
Check out the tour and then read Holly's story. It will change your life.

Missing any memories?
Holly Sinclair is happily married to the love of her life, Gabriel. Young and in love, Holly hopes to have their first child soon. Of course, Gabriel wants to wait till Holly’s health is restored, much to Holly’s dismay. She feels perfectly fine. So what if she just woke up from an eight-month coma? So what if some of her memories are missing? She remembers Gabe and that’s all that matters, right?
That is, until HE enters her life again . . . she forgot about HIM.

taylor dean can weave a story that will keep you on pins and needles. As Holly remembers, tears form in my eyes. The suspense and anticipation of what is to come, makes my heart beat faster, my palms sweat and chills run up and down my spine.

14 – TheReaddicts - Review; Two Kinds of LoveI Have People was not an easy light read I was expecting but it was a good read none the less.
15 – Paulette’sPapers - A Gentleman Who Says "Gosh" Review
The hero of I Have People is a true gentleman and in many ways the perfect man. He’s kind, soft-spoken, polite to a fault, and compassionate.

16 – fuonlyknew - Review; The Prologue to I Have People
You’ll cry, you’ll laugh, you’ll want to kick someone, but most importantly, you’ll want to hug someone.
You’ll want to hug “your people.”

I also really liked Holly's character. She was sweet and still strong.
18 – LiteraryWinner - Review
I have to say it’s a bit eye-opening that Holly felt that if she wasn’t actually hit by her abuser, then she wasn’t being abused. I can imagine that this may be thought by other people in similar situations.

The main character, Holly, discovers that she does have ‘people’ in her life who are willing to help her out of a bad situation—she just has to let them.

23 – Deco MyHeart - Review
This is an emotional story of domestic abuse and recovery, wonderfully written with realistic characters, and it will stay with you long after you finish. How I wish women (and men) that are bring abused would seek help and realize they have "people" too.

I was simply pulled in right at the prologue and this wonderfully original, page turning novel kept me up well into the night. I nearly read it in one sitting. Dean is the real deal. She writes with purpose and a message and I just adored the book. With twists, turns and captivating characters this book is not to be missed.

Angela was fun to write. She is funny, blunt, loyal, and loves her ‘girl time.’
– I Am a Reader, Not a Writer - When is it Abuse
If any physical harm is implied or threatened, make no mistake, it IS abuse. Even if the perpetrator never once touches his victim.

I was never feed with a silver fork! I always had to work for what I never got. I never had a gold lining! You remember who butter your toast!

Thanks for your funny cliches, Donna! Good luck on the giveaway and I hope you enjoy I Have People!
DeleteA bird in the bush, is better off in the bush. Every (storm) cloud has a lightning bolt. There are so many cliches running through my mind, my brain went into overload and shut down. LOL Thanks for adding me to the tour, Taylor. I knew I would be on vacation and didn't know if I would be able to post, then signed up late figuring it would only take me a few minutes to prepare a post.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you decided to join the tour! So happy to have Fundinmental on my tour schedule! Hope you had a nice vacation!
