LOS ANGELES, CA, USA, March 6, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Tough Love at Mystic Bay by Elizabeth Sowden will be released in April 1, 2020, by Running Wild Press. https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781947041530— Nick Gaglia, filmmaker
In this debut novel, Sowden delves into the troubled teen industry. Tough Love at Mystic Bay follows Grace Haddonfield, an accomplished four-start chef, who unlearns harsh lessons and rediscovers friendship by revisiting and confronting her bitter past. At 14, all she wanted is to become captain of her high school swim team. Instead, she finds herself at odds with her controlling mother who sends her to a boarding school for troubled teens. After trying to escape Epiphany Lake Academy, Grace winds up somewhere even worse: Mystic Bay, a barbed-wire facility in the Dominican Republic. As an adult, Grace is successful but lonely and struggles to reconcile her triumphs with the injustices she has endured. When she meets a woman named Jess in a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class, she has the chance to make the kind of connection that's been missing from her life.

Reviews:
Out of the horrors of "tough love" comes this beautifully poetic, fearless story of the resilience of the human spirit. Simply awe-inspiring from beginning to end! –Nick Gaglia, filmmaker and survivor of an abusive, cult-like rehabilitation center
The abuse itself is horrifying, and the author drives home the feelings of desperation and injustice; at several moments, it seems as if Grace has outsmarted the system only to end up in a worse position…The story still leads to satisfying and bittersweet conclusions about confronting one’s past. A shocking tale of surviving abuse and living with its consequence.— Kirkus Reviews
