Young Adults Face Demons, Overcome Trauma in New Novel
MT. VERNON, N.Y. (PRWEB) August 22, 2016 -- In “When a Unicorn Crosses the Rubicon” (published by Lulu), author Lloyd Goulbourne introduces readers to Angie and Taylor, who seem to have almost everything going for them during their senior year of high school. Like many teens, they believe they are almost fully prepared to undertake the next scripted challenges in life – until life changes their plans.
“This book began as a short story with the intentions of introducing a traumatic event,” says author Lloyd Goulbourne. “I wanted to present an issue that occurs in everyday life so it could resonate with readers. Once I presented the event I felt as though I needed to see it through to the other side, no matter how difficult or unorthodox it might become.”
In the book, Angie and Taylor must learn to face their demons. Goulbourne addresses violence and sexual assault against women, noting that it is “a continuing problem in our society.” While the book is graphic in detail, the imagery is intended to portray the terrifying reality.
