We all love a good book to read at the beach or while we are on Summer vacation. “Warm Transfer” by debut novelist Laura Holtz’s is sure to keep you engaged and enthralled this Summer.
About Warm Transfer
In a romantic and sometimes humorous story, Warm Transfer drops us into an affluent world of scandals and secrets. Tamsen’s husband Victor owns a successful advertising agency. His income supports the Peel’s lavish lifestyle in the uppermost echelon of Chicago society. Inside the clutch of Victor’s controlling ways, however, Tamsen has misplaced her sense of identity.
Just as she has given up the dream she could ever have more, Whit, a handsome young musician, leans his beat-up bike against the iron fence of the Peel’s Astor Street brownstone. Quickly, Tamsen finds an unlikely companion in his kindred, tortured soul. Despite their age difference, the two discover common ground in hot tea and their mutual love for the French novel The Count of Monte Cristo.
It’s only a matter of time before their friendship intensifies. Tamsen must face the questions that haunt her: can she reclaim the woman she was in her life before Victor? Is the detriment to her children worth it? Is she worth it?
Empowering and Inspiring
Warm Transfer tells the story that many may have experienced or is experiencing right now. Sometimes as women we want the most and the best of everything, but living such a privileged lifestyle can come at a cost.
“My aim in sharing Tamsen’s story is to expose readers to partner abuse, and to how this insidious form of torture can render its victims self-blaming and confused,” shares Holtz. “Should a reader find themselves in a verbally or emotionally abusive situation, in reading my protagonist’s tale, I hope they can find validation, clarity, or maybe even a tiny fragment of help.”
“I would also like the book to stir in women an awareness of situations or events in their lives that might have been passed off as ‘nothing’ when, in fact, these events were highly charged with an imbalance of power,” she continues.
Ten percent of proceeds from this book will go to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN).
