A Woman Scorn'd
When psychotherapist, Dr. Roxane Brissett sets out to counsel and provide therapy sessions for women dealing with and living in abusive lifestyles, she has no idea what she's about to experience or that all hell is about to break loose.
Born Jamaican-Creole, Roxane struggles inwardly with her own issues; being raped at thirteen by her own father and being raised by an aunt who was never supportive or loving towards her.
She opens her practice right in the heart of Manhattan with the intention of changing these women way of thinking and giving back in her own significant way. But what she finds out is that things are worse off than she could ever imagine for some of her clients. Especially for Bernice McCall; a client who puts her psychology background to work the moment she meets her.
Roxane is not your average psychotherapist. She's the kind of woman who gets wrapped up in her work and commits herself wholeheartedly to her clients. So much that she has lost sight of her own realities for a short period.
When one of her clients turn up dead and the man she's head over heels in love with unfaithful deeds surfaces through a crazy and deranged woman named Karma, Roxane's world is turned upside down.

Thanks. Can't wait for you to read it as well.
"A Woman Scorn'd." Philadelphia novelist earns Five Liberty Bells for examination of domestic abuse.
An insider's view of domestic abuse is set forth in "A Woman Scorn'd," by Philadelphia novelist Dorothy Goins.
Centering around Manhattan psychotherapist, Dr. Roxane Brissett, the book explores the struggles of her patients and herself as they seek to cope with, recover from and prevail over the emotional scars caused by violence and molestation.
The book is set among handsome, young professionals on the fast track. It weaves tales of stock market fraud, murder and fantastic sex around the narrative about abuse and healing. The book explores the tie between warm supportive famlies and children who rise far above the modest circumstances of their birth.
The book teaches that only after a victim is able to gush out suppressed pain, can she succeed at love and master life's challenges. Goins shows that faith should not be discounted as a path to healing.
Five Liberty Bells for a great hometown writer.
