Author's Original Description: Mallory Durham has been left behind and it is making her feel less like an adult and more like an afterthought.
Divorce, sickness, educational aspirations being shattered, and her Aunt Sam moving into her home, have made Mal’s life nearly unrecognizable to her.
When Tucker Scott re-enters her life along with his band, will they offer what she needs to once again find her voice and self confidence or will it strip her of it even more?
Told through the dual voices of Mallory as she navigates her new world, and Aunt Sam’s letters to her niece, Beatless tells the story of two women at very different points in their life, fighting the same battles. Proving that no matter what age a person is, there are always lessons to be learned.
Sandy's Review: There is no secret that Amber and I have been friends for a long time. Those of you who remember the original Southern Fan Fiction Review will remember that she has helped me with this blog she even wrote a few reviews herself. But please don't let that make you question this review of Beatless - because it is nothing short of REMARKABLE!!!
I am probably closer to Sam's age and situations than I am Mallory's, but that didn't keep me from enjoying every page of Beatless. Not since Stephanie Meyer's 'Twilight' have I read a book all in one day. I could not put this one down. Amber is so talented and professional. She keeps you turning pages and you don't realize how much you've read until one of the kids is wants supper again...
Mallory teaches us many things about ourselves and so does Sam. This is a heartwarming feel good story that will maybe make us take another look at people we've turned away from in the past. Just because we 'think' we have outgrown people and things doesn't mean they aren't comforting for us. Some of them may even help us continue with this life and reach for our dreams. Some of them may help us continue with the life beyond.
But don't think this is an easy YA.....oh NO! It is an Adult Fiction and you will get to meet Tucker. (On a scale from Sherek to Edward - Tucker ranks completely up to Edward.) He is Hot and Bad and exactly what Mallory needs to help her get past her situation and become the young woman she is meant to be. Um...that scale would look something like this:
I have to congratulate Amber on Beatless. I am so happy to see her publishing. She is one of the great authors of our time!! Today is the last day you can get Beatless on kindle for .99 cents.
