'September Woods' is a novel that explores timely themes of abuse, love and perseverance

SIOUX CITY, Iowa - "It is my hope that we chose to make a difference with our lives, a difference in the lives of others and ultimately a difference in the world." It is this sentiment that drove debut author Linda Florke to pen her new thriller "September Woods" (published by Trafford Publishing). In the northern woods of Wisconsin, three characters lives intersect with chilling and long-lasting consequences.

"September Woods," Florke believes, will inspire readers to find the courage to stand up for their own convictions. It will impress upon readers the value of family, the virtue of compassion, and will give hope to many who have encountered controversy in their own lives.

Stella is the main character; the story tells her struggle from childhood to adulthood and how the most catastrophic event in her life shaped her future and gave her life purpose. Dr. Graham Becker helps heal Stella after her tragedy, and tries to make her whole again, but never expected his feelings to grow for her. Randall Daggett, who like so many misguided people is merely the product of his environment, wreaks havoc on everyone and everything in his path.

Florke knows her work will find a ready audience. She touches on and explores too many of the important themes of today, such as the ever-present crimes against women, the cruelty and abuse of animals and the never-ending hope that love that will conquer all.
