In the Rearview

Meagan's a teenage girl with a sensitive heart, and emotions that seem bigger than her. She struggles with depression and harmful thoughts that feel like they're rotting her from the inside out. Every day feels harder than the last, until she finds a way to cope.Meagan begins to cut herself as a way to control her out-of-control world. It becomes her raft in a churning ocean; the only way she can think to stop from drowning in her own sorrows. She starts with just one cut. But that leads to the next, and the next. And after starting, it's clear Meagan can't stop as easily as expected. She soon spirals into a dark and cruel world she doesn't understand, nor does she really want to. It was supposed to be helpful, an easy and quick fix. But that comfort doesn't last long enough. And when Meagan's secret is found out, she realizes there's no way to outrun her unhealthy habit of self-harm. She tries to work through it, and her depression, before she cuts too deep, making a mistake that can never be undone. Meagan faces life-altering obstacles, managing to grow up in the process. IN THE REARVIEW is a story of pain, confusion, heartbreak, healing, and hope told through the unique format of Meagan's poems, journal entries, and a bit of narrative.*Content Warning: mental health, suicidal ideation, self-harm, abuse, and language*If you like unique stories, a bit on the melancholy side, told in unique ways, In the Rearview might be your next favorite book.

Readers say:"Super excited to read what's coming next FROM Maria." - Amazon Reviewer"I love this author." - Amazon Reviewer"Green's adept storytelling skills are evident not only in the plot, but also in the way she has us rooting for the protagonists." - Amazon ReviewerAbout the author:Maria lives in Minnesota despite the frozen winters. Actually, she prefers snow drifts and icicles over summer and all that sweat running everywhere. She lives with her husband and little family, which includes a couple lazy cats who make great lap warmers. She absolutely believes in unicorns and ghosts and hopes vampires are real too. She's a coffee-in-the-morning and wine-in-the-evening kind of person, preferably with a nap in between. She devours books, reading mostly in bed or listening to audio books in the car. She's a creative, mouthy, introverted, proud bisexual, highly-sensitive INFJ, Slytherpuff, dork with a lot of tattoos and a sweet-tooth. Writing has been one of Maria's passions for pretty much her whole life. Creativity is a necessity for her, always. After working in the mental health field for almost a decade, she's now living her dream as a stay-at-home writer, kiddo wrangler, professional snuggler, and constantly-tired-person. When it comes to her writing, she specializes in dark and twisted thrillers or gritty, angsty contemporary romances. But no matter the genre, she always prefers writing deeply flawed characters with dysfunctional relationships. She's pretty sure the whole "unlikable character" thing is a conspiracy because every character she loves have been labeled this way. Ridiculous. And because of this, she's pretty much found it impossible to write anything without at least a little mayhem. She will always believe that though not every story is for her, and her stories aren't for everyone, every story has a reader.For more from Maria find all of her links, including a link to get more content at her newsletter, here: linktr.ee/mariainmadnessMaria also loves connecting with readers and she can be found at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mariainmadness/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/2U7dY4a Twitter: https://twitter.com/missmariaann Goodreads: https://bit.ly/1pOpUU3 Bookbub: https://www.bookbub.com/profile/maria-ann-green Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/mariaannwriter/
