For years after sharing my life story, people often said I should go on Oprah or write a book. Since Oprah wasn’t knocking on my door, I wrote the book. Although fiction, Snowdrop Strong depicts one girl’s journey through abuse to save herself, find her voice, and unleash her inner warrior.

I wrote a book! Snowdrop Strong. A contemporary YA. Now available on Amazon. Check out @kellirushbooks on Instagram. #snowdropstrong #datingviolence #fightforgirls #versenovel
