(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 22, 2024 ) Denver, CO and Boulder, CO – Outskirts Press—the fastest-growing, full-service self-publishing and book marketing company—is pleased to announce the release of Lessons from a Barracuda by Beth McKnight. The novel takes a bite out of abuse in the home and workplace as one woman navigates personal trials, confronts discrimination challenges, stands up for what is right and rediscovers herself—finding strength in nature’s wisdom. Episodes spotlighting disturbing elements of society bring to light issues affecting anyone who has struggled with being abused or treated unfairly. This book is an entertaining, eye-opening page-turner that will appeal to lovers of crime, suspense, thrillers and personal empowerment.
After hours of fighting a raging storm alone at sea in the Bahamas, Elizabeth is relieved when her husband finally emerges from below deck on their chartered boat to help. That is, until he pushes her off the sailboat and into the turbulent waters…
Luke thinks he is rid of Elizabeth and free to start fresh with another woman back in Boulder, Colorado, but Elizabeth miraculously survives and is rescued. She chooses not to press charges against Luke, instead letting the fear of retribution haunt him.
Elizabeth’s career in public relations flourishes as she excels at crisis management for high-profile clients in the Denver area and earns recognition for her innovative work. But her resilience is tested by sexual assault and discrimination in the workplace, and by a move to the Northwest with a charming man who turns out to be a manipulative sociopath.
After a harrowing escape and a fresh start back in Colorado, Elizabeth’s past with Luke resurfaces dangerously, forcing her to fight for her life once more. Navigating work and personal challenges, Elizabeth discovers her true strength, inspired by the natural world—and a significant encounter with a barracuda.
