Indie Reads Aloud Radio with Shannon Waite and "Raising Women"

LISTENER ADVISORY: MATURE LANGUAGE AND SITUATIONS Girls are taxes. Women are city limits. You are on the precipice of womanhood and have become obsessed with an ex-convict, Roman. She introduces you to the dangerous and honest side of life that no one else has been able to. As she unapologetically places you in scandalous situations, you begin making self-destructive decisions. Depending on which decisions you choose, you may taste Roman’s blood, get branded with a searing screwdriver, or date a married man– all while each choice challenges what it means to be a woman, real, or both. In this interactive novel, readers have twenty-four possible pathways with four unique endings to explore the wild that is growing up girl.
