Jarred Into Being
A Woman’s Story of Strength, Survival, and Love
We are Pat Adsit Burke and Daniel Lawrence Burke, a husband and wife writing team who write under the pen name Pat Lawrence. In August of 2011, we released a novel, Jarred into Being, which is described on our publisher’s website at www.outskirtspress.com/jarredintobeing.
Jarred Into Being is suspense filled, roller coaster of read novel with a strong female protagonist, our heroine, Eva Lange. At thirteen years old, young Eva Lange’s life is profoundly changed forever when her parents are both killed in a tragic automobile accident and she is left to fend for herself.
In a short time, Eva is victimized and forced into prostitution, human trafficking, and sexual slavery. Jarred Into Being follows Eva’s life for the next ten years as she struggles for her freedom, her independence, her very life.
Will Eva Lange emerge as one of the few sexual abuse survivor stories? Can she overcome the powerful forces who would possess her? Jarred Into Being is a gripping portrait of survival which gives life to emotionally charged topics ripped from today’s headlines:
- Human trafficking, forced prostitution, and sexual slavery;
- Using sexuality to escape sexual abuse;
- Corruption in local government and the United States legal system;
- The sordid world of Mexican drug cartels and modern border control.
Jarred Into Being is available in hardback, paperback, e-book, Kindle and Nook formats at Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com and through the authors’ publisher, Outskirts Press, Inc.
