“Without struggle, there is no progress.”- Fredrick Douglas. That saying is so true when it comes to Tonia. Her struggle, strength, and barriers she encounters, change her life and makes her the epiphany of strength and devotion in this modern tale. Feeling denied in turn for abandonment and reservation; Tonia is a loner coping without help, for a better choice of words, burying pain behind fake smiles. She struggles in making sense of her life while being thrown a few monkey wrenches in the things and people she thought she could always count on; however, they threaten to strip her of the will to heal from an abortion and the abandonment of both parents. She searches for love, answers, and evenness without sensing the evils at bay.
Growing Pains, an epic novel written by newcomer Rhonda Allen, will release this January. Tonia, a teenage girl, raised by her grandmother, lacks emotional, nurturing, and spiritual balance needed in facing a domino effect of life’s circumstances, a true-to-life story that women, young and old, should have in their collection. The adventurous and controversial moments brought in this fictional novel, of narrative form, causes laughter, makes you cry, forces you to think, and more importantly, it will make you aware. Every low moment leads the way to humanizing the spirit within and moving to the next challenge. Rhonda’s deep and inspiring writing opens your senses and eases the soul.
Rhonda Allen is a new author. The Dayton, OH Native is a twenty eight year old single mother, cosmetologist, and college student at Sinclair Community College. Issues that lead character Tonia faces, in this inspiring fable are reminiscent to the struggles that Rhonda, and many other women, have faced in their lives.
