ABOUT DARK SIDE OF VALOR
Child advocate Lelia Freeman saves children for a living. As the director of ChildSafe Shelters, she ventures to abandoned squats and crackhouses to rescue teens from the hellish streets of Los Angeles. When she is summoned to Washington to serve on a committee that aids the children of a war-torn African nation, Lelia is kidnapped and becomes a political pawn in a sinister conspiracy. Oceans away from everything she knows, she must trust a mercenary to save her life, or die in the clutches of a psychopath.
Hunting, combat and staying alive are Elijah Dune’s specialties. Vengeance is his passion. Haunted by past demons, he’s travels to the Motherland to collect a debt. A debt that demands one payment. Death.
Caught in the crosshairs of a madman, Lelia and Elijah must survive the jungles of Zaire and the horrors of their pasts or be forever consumed by the DARK SIDE OF VALOR.

It’s important to save troubled teens. I’ve worked with unwed mothers…volunteered. The problem is breaking the cycle there. Those who work in this area have to be devoted and strong. I very much admire their dedication and love. So, I feel very strongly about this love and caring for children who are caught up in what may seem to be situations with no way out. Fantastic book…and great post!
I think it’s very important to save troubled teens, so that they can be good citizens.
I think we need to save kids before they become troubled teens and we need to make every effort to help troubled teens because they are our future and will be the next generation of adults.
it is important because we need to stop the downward spiral and bring them back on the right path
It’s very important to save troubled teens, they are our future. I have dealt with many teens that had horrible family lives. They didn’t think anyone cared for them and when someone truely cares they soak that up.
of utmost importance, becuase the are the next generation
I think it’s extremely important to save troubled teens – they are our hope for the future, after all, so we need to start by giving them as good a present as we can. Besides, troubled teens will grow up to be troubled adults who risk passing that on to their own children.
It’s very important. There is so much pressure on teens today and it makes me worry often about my daughter.
Very important. They are future leaders.
I’m a high school teacher so I see first hand how terrible the home life of some of these teens are. Parents who do drugs, selling drugs themselves, homeless, violence, and so much more. Resources are really focused on the under 8 crowd and teens get the short stick.
Dark Side of Valor sounds good!
It’s real important to save the troubled teens because one day they will be our politicians, lawyer, judges, etc. They are the next generation that will run our country. It is also important right now because there is so many reports of children being killed, abused, or kidnapped. We need to teach our children to be aware of the things that are happening. We also need to break the cycle of abuse that some of these teens have in their family. If we don’t, they will grow up to do the same as their parents.
Its very important.
It is very important to me.
I am looking forward to having this book in my hands.
