Can the misfortunes of one woman’s ancestors give her the strength to fight for her freedom?

When Alice inherits a wooden chest from her deceased mother, she suddenly finds herself swept away by the devastating stories contained within. No longer the only victim in her family, Alice realizes that she must find the power to break the chains of darkness that have enslaved the women of her family for so long. As her foremothers cry out to her from the past, Alice must learn to dream again, to break down the mental and emotional barriers holding her back… and to reach for her freedom.

Alice finds herself seeking the courage to imitate her foremothers’ fortitude and extricate herself from her abusive husband. If not for her own life, then that of her daughter, Denise.

Don’t Play in the Sun is a thrilling ride, geared to reset your way of thinking. Travel with Alice through her hardships as her story reveals that there is a light at the end of the tunnel- if you are willing to trudge forward through the filth, fear and dark to get to it.
