Fiction Novel Sends a Social Message about Drug and Alcohol Addiction

This riveting story conveys a grave social message about drug addiction, alcoholism, parental neglect and dysfunctional relationships. Twenty-three year old Simon is in his final year at the university. He spends most of his time hanging out and not much time on his college work.  He takes a day off to complete a forgotten assignment when he gets a phone call from a stranger, a girl named Ingrid.  She invites herself to his house and then becomes so intoxicated with drugs and alcohol that she collapses on his kitchen floor.   Simon panics and decides to ship Ingrid off in a taxi.  When Ingrid disappears, the police blame him for stealing her car and later suspect him of her abduction.  Suspicions are lifted when Ingrid shows up a couple of weeks later and embarks on a seemingly doomed relationship with Simon.  In order to save their relationship and their future, Simon must find courage from within to battle both of their addictions, as well as Ingrid’s rich and controlling father who has already decided whom she should marry.   Publisher’s website:  http://www.eloquentbooks.com/DutchCourage.html   About the Author:       A M Clarke is a writer who enjoys tackling social problems and bringing them to the forefront in her novels.  Part of her research for this novel included attending some AA meetings and speaking with alcoholics about their addictions.  Dutch Courage is her third novel; she’s currently writing another that deals with the problems that the rule of celibacy augurs for Roman Catholic priests.  Ann lives in Leeds, West Yorkshire UK.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     For media inquiries, appearances, or other publicity — please contact: Ellen Green — PressManager@aegpublishinggroup.com                                                                                                                                AEG Publishing Group, Inc. 845 Third Avenue, 6th floor-6016 New York, NY 10022 http://www.Strategicbookpublishing.com http://www.EloquentBooks.com http://www.StrategicBookMarketing.com 1-888-808-6190 - Corporate Office
