Based on the Feature Length Film comes this gritty high school drama, MASQUERADE.
Things are never what they appear on the surface… especially in High School.
Jaime is the new girl at Northwood Academy, just trying to fit in. Ashley is a popular cheerleader who seems to have a perfect, priveleged life and zero interest in Jaime or her faith. But when Jaime begins to see signs of her own abusive past in Ashley, she knows she must cross that brutal social divide to help out.
With Ashley’s world spinning out of control, Jaime is running out of time. The real question is, how do you save someone who doesn’t want to be saved?
Hello, my name is S. David Acuff, screenwriter and blogateer over at Wired4Film.com. I’m also a father with three beautiful daughters who I would protect to my last breath. Sadly, there are thousands of other girls out there who aren’t shown love and protection. They are shown abuse and neglect.
I’m going to be very honest, as a comedy writer, it’s tough to digest some of the rough stories I’ve heard through the years. But they are stories that need to be heard. Voices that need to be raised up. This book, this story, is just one way to raise awareness. To bring hope where there is despair. To be a light in the darkest shadows.
To show the power of a single friendship.
Getting published your first time is an endless string of kicks in the groin. And that’s on a good day. But, we have an opportunity to make our own path! And with your help and support and prayers, we can band together and get this book out there!
Thanks, fellow Book Nerds!
