| Title: Moving On Author:Summer Fey Foovay Publisher: Forbidden Publications Genre: Chick Lit Publication date: August 2006 ISBN: N/A Pages: 141 Series: |
Melani is a free spirited survivor of a difficult and abusive life. Drawn to live near the river she’s come to love, eventually she decides to commence on a kayaking trip down the river. Saying goodbye to all of her friends, some expect she is taking an adventure or just getting away from it all for a while; others, a very few, realize her true intentions. Melani is not returning. A lifetime of losses have taught her the value and ease of living frugally and traveling lightly. An experienced kayaker, Melani is out on the water nearly daily. As a writer and artist, she is also a lover of nature in all its forms, and the story abounds with wonderful details of nature she encounters on this trip. As she floats by familiar old river landmarks, Melani works through the detritus of her life, both good and bad, and remembers friends and foes alike. Along the way, Melani also meets some new friends, and weaves in a tremendous amount of metaphysical consideration and wisdom. By the end of the story, Melani has worked through a tremendous load of past history and surmounted her losses and grief’s, coming out in a place of maturity and spiritual development. What an inspiring story this is! Melani’s life has been worse than many readers would ever care to undergo, other than vicariously, yet she has a triumphant spirit in many senses of the word. She is street-wise and wise metaphysically, and yet her freethinking and freewheeling nature leads her to find pleasure with many individuals of both genders. The sensuality thread is woven through the story in Moving On and is very much its backdrop, but not its rationale. Summer Fey Foovay has an unusual approach to fiction, and is unafraid to deal with issues many would prefer to see swept under the rug: such as incest, sexual abuse, rape, and prostitution. As in her other story, Cutting Away the Pain, Summer Fey Foovay grabs at the reader’s heart and mind with stories whose effects remain long after the final page is turned.
