SUMMARY:Third Thursday Living Well BOOK SIGNING: Not One More Day by Candice Morrow
DESCRIPTION:An Inspirational Journey of Thriving Beyond Survival \n\n\n\nJoin us Third Thursday for treats and meet the author as we celebrate this detailed memoir of survival\, strength\, and fierce journey to reclaim voice\, power\, and a life.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith brutal honesty and fierce determination\, Candice Morrow exposes the truth of what she endured and the relentless grit it took to rise. Page by page\, she pulls back the curtain on the hidden world of domestic violence – the manipulation\, the fear\, the silence – and reveals what it truly means to fight your way out. Her journey is one of survival\, yes\, but far more – it’s a story of rising\, of choosing freedom\, reclaiming her voice\, and becoming a force for change. \n\n\n\nMeet Candice\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe nursing career that saved my life now spans four decades\, including working as a trauma travel nurse and owning a pharmaceutical home infusion company. I’m now an aesthetic trainer\, and over the last eighteen years\, I’ve traveled the US\, training approximately four thousand medical providers\, both physicians and mid-levels\, in the most effective and safest techniques for aesthetic injections. \n\n\n\nIn addition to my nursing career\, my mission is helping individuals escape domestic violence and helping those who have already escaped find the joy and peace they deserve.  \n\n\n\nBy sharing my own story of survival\, I hope to inspire others to break the silence about abuse––and give those who are being abused the hope and courage to get out. No one should live in fear\, and I’m proof that a life without fear is possible.   \n\n\n\nI’ve been very fortunate to build a life in Georgia with wonderful friends who have shown me that I don’t need to share the same blood to become family. To learn more about me or schedule a speaking engagement\, please visit candicemorrowauthor.com.

What begins as a clever political maneuver soon spirals into something dangerous.  \n\n\n\nFilled with enchanted forests\, courtly intrigue\, and hidden agendas\, the novel explores the cost of power\, the strength of conviction\, and the choices that can alter the course of history. Richly atmospheric this is an irresistible pick for readers who love historical fantasy\, myth and strong heroines.
