Sideswiped Book

Sideswiped, Marion S. Freed's searing, hypnotic stories of hope and betrayal, love and alienation, cuts right to the bone. Her characters emerge from the darkest recesses of the soul. Her style makes readers start out loving every character that they meet. In each of the four stories that make up this collection, the reader feels a tingle rise in his spine that is both heart wrenching and cathartic. From the very first scene in each story, the reader is made to watch a terrifying event that they do not want to see, but cannot look away from. The reader is compelled to follow each story to its conclusion. It is impossible to silence that atavistic inner voice that commands us to join these flawed but singularly familiar characters, even as they are inexorably and irresistibly sideswiped.
