RISE, the fascinating story of how a facially scarred and reclusive sculptress breaks free upon discovering the true source of self-esteem. No one can hide forever… Riana “Ria” Ofor is a gifted sculptress whose beautiful creations could draw crowds. But due to the childhood accident that left her facially scarred, she avoids selling her work publicly, instead scraping a living through online sales. However, when a home repossession notice arrives, both her love of sculpting, as well as her home, suddenly come under threat. Now she is forced to step out of her comfort zone and enter the very public world of gallery showings. When she does land a gallery contract, she then finds herself the target of a rival artist after the very same contract. Using malicious lies about Ria, he intends to make her regret taking what should have been his. Now, Ria must look to find a truth that conquers all lies. Rejection is a lie… An ideal book club suggestion, RISE not only asks life’s biggest questions, but answers them. And like the book’s main character, you too will be left considering all you thought you already knew.
