by Ally Brown (Author) "Angel, everything will be fine." Words spoken by the man she loved and trusted her whole life. Moments later, Ally would face a new reality that "blew up" her life forever. In the summer of 2009, her high school sweetheart and husband was sentenced to prison and the truth upon which her very existence was built began to shatter. And that was just the beginning... Each day she would discover a new lie, a new revelation of betrayal; a new challenge. Each day the obstacles grew larger. She had trusted those around her and did things without question. As repayment for that loyalty and trust, she would soon be standing, legs shoulder-width apart, frantic and scared, while a U.S. Probation Officer tethered the now single mother to her home for the next 6 months. Blast Radius is a real-life story of how a life built on deception brought profound consequences engulfing not only Ally, but her children, her family, friends, and so many more. It is the story of how trying to be the perfect wife, daughter, and friend makes you ignore your internal turmoil and blinds you to the deception, abuse, and fraud surrounding you. It is a story about persevering and putting the pieces of your life back together when life throws you curveballs - even your own family is trying to stop you. Experience the journey from deception to discovery and the scars that remain. Number of Pages: 442 Dimensions: 0.9 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN Publication Date: July 10, 2023
