I Trusted Him: The True Story of Anna Lynn Hurd

In support of the National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Foboko.com a division of Paradise Publishers launches "I Trusted Him: The True Story of Anna Lynn Hurd".  In this thought provoking look at teen dating violence, the novel methodically documents the months and days leading up to the gruesome death of Anna Lynn Hurd. 

A murder that no one in the quiet suburb of Northern St. Paul could have seen coming.  Or could they?  All the warning signs were there. All the early signs were there. Attempts to control her disguised by his pleas to spend every waking second with her.  Forbidding her to go to the bathroom by herself out of fear that she might be texting someone else unfortunately went unnoticed.  Many admitted in witnessing these jealous outbursts were often brushed off as normal teenage behaviour. Honest attempts in believing the best for both Anna Lynn and her boyfriend created the perfect recipe for a tragic ending which would eventually cost Anna Lyn Hurd her life.

Written by Jennifer Smith (Anna Lynn Hurd's mother) and Cherry Tigris (an advocate for child abuse survivors). Readers will find themselves caught in the perfect storm of circumstances brought on by young teenage love gone wrong, and a society that refuses to hold anyone accountable for anything.
