The Story behind the Book: It Only Hurts When I Can't Run (Parker)

 



Today's back story is about the book, It Only Hurts When I Can't Run by Gewanda Parker.

From the publisher:

When Gewanda approached us with her pre-publication manuscript, it was clear that here was a person who had experienced tremendous trauma as a child. That is a story, of course. A sad story. However, what was also clear was her resilience in overcoming that trauma very, very successfully. That was a story worth publishing. An uplifting story. A story that can help others.

More important for us as publisher, it fit into a line of such books, the leaders of which were Elizabeth Mahlou's Blest Atheist and Geri Henderson's and Seanne Emerton's Healing from Incest -- and ultimate prompted the commissioned book by Joanna Romer, Recovering from Domestic Abuse, Stalking, and Abuse.

When it was released, Gewanda's book quickly flew to the top of Amazon's hot new releases lists:

  • #4 Hot New Releases in the child abuse category
  • #8 Hot New Releases in the family relationship/abuse category
  • #47 Hot New Releases in the family relationship category

Here is more information about the book and Gewanda in her own words.

Note: The full cover was drawn by the late famed Russian artist, Zhenya Yanovich.
