December 1, 2014 – Word Hermit Press is proud to announce the release of P.O.W.ER by debut author Lisa A. Kramer.
What would happen if women and girls joined their unique abilities to change the world? In a time where access to the written word is reserved to men, Andra Betscrivener’s ability to read and write must remain a secret, or she could lose her hands, her eyes or her life. At 17 she discovers that her abilities extend beyond reading: she can write events to life. Desperate to keep her powers hidden from both the government and a rebel group, she learns her words have the power to kill, threatening her father’s life and her own freedom. Andra’s fight empowers others to stop governmental oppression. But in a society ruled by lies, cruelty and inequality, her journey will not be easy or safe.
