Ontario, Canada Author Publishes Novel

Innocence & Betrayal, a new book by Elaina Banks, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

After surviving a tumultuous childhood, shaped by abuse at the hands of her alcoholic father and then later by a poor marriage, subsequent divorce, and other personal conflicts, Emily was finally ready to focus her life on her personal dreams and goals.

But moving on isn't always as easy as it seems, and Emily finds herself falling into the same patterns, which include becoming involved with unsavory people whose corrupt motives have a devastating effect on her health, well-being, and happiness.

As Emily's adult life progresses, she learns the value of embracing love and understanding, instead of hatred and vengeance. Throughout her evolution, Emily discovers that conquering her problems with forgiveness allows her to overcome her most difficult obstacles and lead a life of peace and harmony.

Innocence & Betrayal exposes the agonizing effects of leading your life focused on corruption and hatred and the peace and harmony that result from a life led by love and righteousness.
