Gabriel's Genesis

by E. Lessly Taylor

Overview

In the moments she has remaining, as her battered body surrenders to Death's cold fingers, US Army PFC Gabriel Sumpter's life flashes before her, and her heartbeat slows. Beaten, raped, and left for dead in Afghanistan by a ruthless gang of fellow soldiers who think she's gay, she knows her chances of survival are slim. Even after she's rescued by a friend in the nick of time, the future holds little hope. If she recovers, which seems unlikely, she knows her life will never be the same. Her dream of making the army a career is definitely over, and what kind of life will she have while carrying the scars of her brutal attack, both inside and out? Three years later, still suffering PTSD, Gabriel's working for a battered women's shelter in her hometown of Pittsburg, when she runs into the friend who saved her life, a man who'd stolen her heart in Afghanistan, and whom she hasn't seen since her rescue. But their budding romance is hampered, not only by Gabriel's PTSD, but she's also the target of a vicious killer and, this time, Death may win...

About the Author

According to author, E. Lessly Taylor, “Looking in the mind of a writer can be a scary place depending on what he or she has to say.” He started writing as a hobby, putting to paper the characters he saw in his mind. A place where he could take his vivid imagination, all the while presenting a calm face the people around him could be comfortable with.

Working twelve- to fourteen-hours shifts, sometimes every day for three weeks at a clip, when an inspiration strikes, he would scribble notes on any piece of paper he could find. Riding the bus, he would get an idea and, afraid he might later miss the true meaning, scribbled notes on the inside of gum wrappers or on bus schedules.

His over a dozen novels cover a variety of subjects. “It’s said great writers steal ideas from other writers,” he claims. “My inspirations came from every day people. The words I’ve put to paper are meant to reach a variety of intellects and place them in situations they can relate to and with sensitive characters that energize their emotions.”

Taylor’s wish is that, when reading his novels, readers are taken to a place where the weight of life is lifted for a time, and, once again, that naughty you're hiding inside can breathe.

Editorial Reviews

Although quite different from Taylor's first book The Messiah Drug, this story is heartbreaking, heartwarming, and filled with wonderful characters that you can't help but root for.

Gabriel's Genesis is a poignant and heartbreaking story of the struggle to overcome the effects of a brutal rape, something too many women have had to face. Well written and told with both compassion and sensitivity, it's a very worthwhile and thought-provoking read.
