FIRST CHAPTER OF SARALAND, A NEW NOVEL BY GL WILLIAMS. Amanda Jane Rush didn't plan to become a New York Socialite. But here she was, owner of a beauty and fashion boutique, living in a cute, cozy bachelorette pad that was the envy of her friends and sharing life with her lovable dog. But when an unexpected letter arrives, she finds herself summoned back to a place she fought hard to forget, and to the family she abandoned a long time ago. Amanda grew up in a small town on the outskirts of Mobile. She was the youngest daughter of six, born into a life she was desperate to escape. Music would become her way out. With a dream scholarship to NYU, she left Alabama behind for the chance at something greater. But once in New York, an internship with a fashion start-up would cause her to set aside her guitar and her notebooks full of her own music for a life that promised glamour and glitz. For Amanda, going home would mean reopening old wounds, uncovering scandalous secrets and confronting the past in a journey to face the one thing she can never run away from. In Saraland, you can never escape your destiny, even when you try to make your own way. SARALAND IS AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER ON AMAZON FOR KINDLE.
