Larissa lives in New York and has a 15 year old daughter called Candy. Larissa tries to cope with the teenage rebellion of Candy but late one night they have a nasty row. Follow Larissa and Candy to discover what happens next.
This novella runs to 49 pages but do not let that put you off, this short book is a cracker. Gerard writes his story from both sides starting first with the mother’s.

...I really enjoyed reading Letters from Candy which I found such a buzz. There was tonnes of raw emotion coupled with great sadness. This short novel is very powerful and really packs a punch.

I found Letters from Candy to be an OUTSTANDING thriller that gets the top score of 5 stars from me. I have no idea how parents of teenage children would feel about this book, maybe they would consider it to be a noteworthy urban legend.
Letters from Candy was written in 2014 and is available as an Amazon Kindle eBook.
