Shattered Reality

Shattered reality is the story of Brooklyn, her journey from childhood to adulthood, in and out of Hollywood, a place that's known for both glamour and sordid tales. When Brooklyn meets a man who appears to be the right one, she takes a leap into marriage but soon finds that satisfaction is a long way off. When illness strikes, she is further tested, as is her husband. It's not until Bo enters her life that she feels she is truly in love. But Bo is married and that poses more challenges than Brooklyn anticipated. Falling in love with an unhappily married man is no guarantee of a happy ending. Bo has a wife that will stop at nothing to get revenge.

This chronicle reads like a diary, and that in itself is not easy to pull off. I liked the author Brenda Perlin's no-holds-barred writing style. Brooklyn is an interesting character. At times, you will cheer her along on her journey. At others, you may question her decisions, especially when she digs her heels in to make her point in court. Authentic and well written, Shattered Reality is the first book of a trilogy. It's a story that is bound to entice readers to want more.
