Young Adult

Beyond The Precipice is the first in a trilogy featuring Bret Killeen, an 18 year old musical genius who, for over six years, believes himself responsible for his father's death. Bret lives a desolate existence in denial and secret shame. As Bret grows into a young man he feels increasingly trapped by his father's dying wishes: that he renounce music in favor of money. Moreover, his brother uses Bret's guilt to his own ends, and his abusive uncle openly rejects him. When Bret falls for Nicole, a young musician who stands for everything his father despised, his self-loathing rapidly intensifies. Meanwhile, Bret watches his mother, Kyra-his one true supporter-descend into the trap of poverty. The life Bret had finally reconciled himself to swiftly disintegrates. Dr. Kern Willoughby, Nicole's father, holds the keys to Bret's future-but only if he can let go of his guilt, accept himself, and find the courage to accept help. Beyond The Precipice is Eva A. Blaskovic's first novel. The critical acclaim Blaskovic's title has already been accorded is exceptional, especially for a debut title. Readers the world over-including editorial professionals of Pulitzer Prize winning titles, and Hollywood screenplay writers-have marveled at the novel's complexity and magnetism.

Re: Beyond the Precipice

This book sounds like it will be a great read. It's amazing that our Parents can have such an affect on us through the years. My Mother had an effect on my life, but not in this direction. I would love to read this book, just to see how the story plays out. I know my life would have been completely different, had I just listened to my gut insticts instead of my Mothers' statements to me, when I was making my life's most important decisions.

Thanks for your comment, Peggy. You're right. Listening to ourselves is key, and many people don't figure it out until it's too late. In BTP, I contrast the damage that can be done to youth against what works. It's a message that I hope people see. There's not just a problem in this book; there's a solution.
