Private Pursuits by Laverty Sparks

On the highway of life, it’s hard to tell where a trip will lead by just looking at one end.

Macey Burris wants out. Away from rural Illinois, her meager part-time job, single motherhood, and sacrifices. But she’ll have to address the missteps, mishaps, and mistakes stalling her journey to freedom. Those setbacks won’t be easy to relinquish. And when an unexpected love interest detours her, she must courageously choose to stay the course or give in to salvation.

Each character is individually trapped, lost in a prison of their own making or unsustainable circumstance. Separately, he or she has mapped out their own personal destination. Yet there are no quick fixes, revealing the hearts, minds, and struggles to be human in a flawed world. Collectively, each party struggles with a panorama of thwarted desire, desperation, hope, loss and ruin, all setting their sights on the road ahead.

About the author, Laverty Sparks:

Laverty Sparks, a/k/a Laurel Sparks-Sellers, is a former advertising copywriter turned full-time novelist of contemporary romances. She pens from “That’s All She Wrote Writing Studio” in the Midwest with a focus on female fiction: those women who know what love is all about, what works and what doesn’t. Ones who have been there, done it, learned from it (including herself!) Aside from composing words, her other passions include her patient and supportive husband, her extended family, traveling, photography, decorating, exercising, casino gambling, and of course reading. A graduate of Purdue University in Indiana, she’s been a writer since her fifth-grade teacher, Mrs. Baldwin, encouraged her in writing and reading skills. Since those young school days, Laverty has had a love affair with books which transformed into the desire to write them. Her newest works include “Leather Horizons” and “Private Pursuits” available on Amazon.
