About the Book

Two women separated by a century each discover they've shared a soul. Elaine suddenly experiences life as a reformed 1907 prostitute determined to stop Dallas's dangerous sex trade. But she's terrified when her life becomes entwined with Eliza's crusade one-hundred years earlier. Until she uses history to change the future. Recent empty-nester Elaine Dearborn suddenly finds herself experiencing life as Eliza Darling, a reformed prostitute in 1907 Dallas, who is determined to shut down the sex trade that has taken so many young lives. Elaine's life in the present becomes more and more intertwined with Eliza's crusade one-hundred years earlier, and Elaine is tormented by the very real possibility that she's losing her mind. That is, until she learns the truth about her past, and what it will mean for her future. As is true today, the sexual slavery business in the early-twentieth-century was alive and well, deplorably exploiting the young and vulnerable, but hidden in plain sight. Although the characters in this novel are fictional, The Virginia K. Johnson Home & Training Center for Women was a real institution in Dallas, devoted to giving young prostitutes a way out. Life Before is a book about personal strength and redemption - with a twist!
About the Author: K.L. Romo enjoys writing about things on the fringe: teetering dangerously on the edge is much more interesting than standing safely in the middle. She is passionate about women's issues. When not lost in words and commas, she's most likely being snarky with her kids or making gooey desserts for the grandkids. K. L. loves noisy clocks, fuzzy blankets, anything pink, and all things Santa Claus. And she HATES the word normal. K. L. is a member of 500 Pens, Ashlar Center for Narrative Arts, the Women's Fiction Writers' Association, and the Writers' League of Texas. Please visit her at www.klromo.com or @klromo on Twitter. If you enjoyed the book, please consider posting a review on Amazon, Goodreads, Barnes & Noble, your blog, or any other place you like to talk about books. A review would be much appreciated!
