They say Beauty is found within.

They don’t say what else may lurk beneath the skin…

Since she was a child, Beauty has heard voices that no one else does. Occasionally appearing as bobbing heads or inky shadows, these voices have tempted her, taunted her, and tormented her. As she grows, so do they, crowding her mind: eight voices, eight oppressors, all determined to control her from the inside out. They whisper ominously about her background, her family, and her identity itself: Don’t forget what you are-what you truly are.

As their influence over her increases, Beauty uncovers painful revelations about her past that send her spiraling. Desperate and despairing, she journeys from one low to the next-through devastating loss, a stint in a mental institution, and an ill-fated romance with a married man.

In her lowest moments, she finds herself ready to give up and give in to the voices. Can she be free from their iron grip? Can she find her own name, her own identity?

Product Description

“This cross-genre debut mixes elements of thriller, horror, and Christian fiction into an emotionally charged story about a young girl literally facing her inner demons. Beauty, as everyone calls her, has heard voices from a young age. Manifesting like split personalities, the eight “beings” inside of Beauty take over her body at the most inopportune times and wreak havoc in her life. After the tragic loss of a child, her mother experiences a loss in her faith, putting a stop to Beauty attending church with her father-one of the few places she feels at peace when hearing about “the Jesus man.” Throughout her life, Beauty is in a constant struggle to maintain control of her life-and her sanity- while battling these eight “oppressors.”

Hieb shines with memorable character development, crisp prose, and fast-paced storytelling. Slowly pulling back the layers and the personalities of each “voice” allows readers not to be overwhelmed by the multiple “characters” inside Beauty. As she fights to remain the dominant presence in her own mind and body, this struggle has a spiraling effect on her life, getting worse the longer she deals with these “demons” on her own. But after a tragic loss, Beauty learns more about her past, shedding light on why she is experiencing the “voices” yet terrifying her of what it all means and will reveal.”
