Pat Sofrona marks her debut in the world of literature with the release of "Beyond the Shades" (published by Trafford Publishing). This new novel is a deeply moving story of love, loss and second chances set in the vibrant country of Jamaica and in the United Kingdom.
When Michelle Bruce and Patrick Pullosky met it was love at first sight. They were married after a whirlwind courtship, and within two months, found out that a baby was on the way. Michelle's pregnancy was completely unexpected and it began to strain her relationship with Patrick. This obstacle is only the beginning of a story that spans two generations and one that will not only affect Michelle and Patrick but also that of their daughter, Christina.
An excerpt from the novel reads,
"I have never stopped loving you, Christina, and even if you did not return the favor, that would have changed nothing," said an emotional Sean. "We both grew up with lots of dignity. We never saw our parents running around the town, despite the fact that they were single parents. Even though the opportunities presented themselves that would have never been my style. I never wanted to be a town player. I really believed in decent and respectful living, and no profession, fortunes, or fame were going to change that."
"Beyond the Shades" is a riveting romance novel that explores the pleasures and perils of love and the complexities of human relationships.
