Guest Post: Five Contrary Heroines I Adore by Therese Beharrie
I started writing ONE DAY TO FALL because I wanted to write a heroine who didn’t conform. Not to society, which doesn’t favour women, or to her family, who favours society’s expectations of women.

I like the idea of them being contrary even more. Even to the expectations of the reader… I think these heroines should be celebrated, so here Continue Reading
