STONEHAM, Mass., February 23, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Betsy Hampton, a vibrant woman with stars in her eyes, vowed to create a successful niche for herself far away from the homogenous rural village she grew up in. She knew she had to be daring and determined to fulfill her dreams. In Bonny Boorn's new novel, Betsy's World (now available through 1stBooks), Betsy's mantra, "I am plucky, undaunted and confident," leads her into unbelievable situations that she never thought possible.
A quirky yet grounded girl, Betsy is an eclectic mix of silliness and determination. With natural beauty that she has never fully recognized and a deep desire to live her own life, Betsy embarks on her journey in London. On the cusp of womanhood, she sets out to create a new life.
What she experiences is beyond her wildest dreams. Along her journey, she finds several excellent friends who add to her perception of the world and has love affairs that both capture and destroy her heart. Her experiences begin to shape her into the woman she will become. She discovers acceptance and unconditional love. Her girlfriends, Abbey and Julia, teach her about unbreakable friendship, and Betsy's discovery of a hidden talent teaches her the importance of self esteem.
Follow Betsy as she discovers a new life and her inner self in this captivating novel.
Boorn, like Betsy, "prefers to dance to the beat of a more eccentric and unconventional drummer..." Raised in a small village in New York, she has traveled extensively and has penned more than 50 poems. A lover of the arts, she holds degrees in business and interior design. Betsy's World is her first novel.
