Laurie Lisa’s Third Novel, "The Light Tower," to publish March 9, 2021, on Amazon.
After successful 2020 launches for Laurie Lisa's first two novels, "The Wine Club" and "Across the Street," previews of "The Light Tower" are glowing.
Laurie Lisa explains that "'The Light Tower' had its genesis in a real-life tragedy that happened years ago when we lived in Chicago. A local news article reported about a troubled, full-term pregnant nurse that ran from a maternity ward, climbed to the top of a 100-foot light tower in an abandoned Chicago railway yard, and then jumped. The woman died, but miraculously, the baby survived." Laurie continues, "I often wondered what would cause a pregnant nurse to do such a thing, and what happened to the baby that survived. Years later, I decided to write the fictional answers to my questions, and 'The Light Tower' is the result."
Laurie’s first two novels to publish, "The Wine Club" and "Across the Street," are regular members of Amazon's Top Seller lists in their respective categories. Early reviewers also praise "The Light Tower." Well-known author/book blogger Anthony Avina states, "Author Laurie Lisa once again shines through with this incredibly tragic yet real and loving story of a mother and her daughter, whose lives were tragically torn apart one fateful day." Avina continues, "'The Light Tower' is a truly powerful, emotionally-driven narrative."
