DECATUR, GA, October 19, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Atlanta author, Kimberly Ware, wrote a riveting novel series called The Nia Trilogy. With its urban style, ranging form domestic violence to teen pregnancy it is a story for young adults ages 15 and up.
October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Within the U.S., nearly three out of four (74%) of Americans personally know someone who is or has been a victim of domestic violence. 30% of Americans say they know a woman who has been physically abused by her husband or boyfriend in the past year (Allstate Foundation National Poll on Domestic Violence, 2006).
"As a young adult, I was victim of domestic violence, now I am a survivor. I wrote The Nia Trilogy because I believed that young adults need to be aware about the truths of domestic violence. Often time, it is kept a secret amongst family and friends when it actually needs to be brought into the light. As a society we should not turn our backs on anyone who is suffering from abuse the truth needs to be heard," stated Kimberly Ware.
The Nia Trilogy is filled with literary imagery on the delicate issues of adolescent poverty. The story takes places in Bronx, New York. The main character, Nia Yolanda Chavez, is biracial of African American and Puerto Rican descent. The novel starts off during Nia's adolescent years of growing up in James Monroe housing projects in Soundview, Bronx. As a troubled teen, Nia has to deal with struggles of having an unstable crack addict mother and an abusive stepfather.
Kimberly Ware is the author of Heal My Wings: A Healing Guide for Women, Heal My Wings: A Healing Journal and Workbook for Women. Kimberly Ware is a spiritual healer and teacher. She conducts the Heal My Wings, Spiritual Pathway and A Recipe for the Soul Workshops through out the country.
