KANKAKEE, Ill., June 9, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Two girls from completely different worlds are unexpectedly bound together by one tragic circumstance. Witness how this frightening yet life-changing event breaks down the walls of prejudice in Two Doves in a Fishbowl, a fascinating story written by Simona Ciarlo.
Two young girls from opposite upbringings are brought together when they are kidnapped and imprisoned in a small room. Aubrey is the sheltered daughter of a millionaire while Nova has been homeless since she was twelve. For months, they live within the four walls of their room, relying on each other for comfort and strength, unaware that their capture is being broadcasted throughout the internet. Their captor, Linus, is a quiet man with a secret childhood. Yet he's capable of blocking out any frequency that can pinpoint the girls' location. As weeks go by, even Linus is disturbed that the girls are made more and more fictitious by the media. Can the detectives rescue them? Can the girls outwit their captor and free themselves?
Richly layered, Two Doves in a Fishbowl delves deep and goes beyond just a mere tale of abduction. It touches on controversial topics such as homelessness and voyeurism yet it is surprisingly meaningful and sentimental. Discover a story of true friendship as the walls of prejudice are torn down in Two Doves in a Fishbowl.
Two Doves in a Fishbowl will be featured in the 2009 New York Library Association Book Exhibit at Niagara Falls, New York, from October 15-16, 2009. For more information, log on to www.Xlibris.com.
About the Author
From the author of Miles Across This Tightrope comes a fiction story by Simona Ciarlo. Since she was five years old, Simona would make up a "movie" in her head to fall asleep. Growing up, she'd write them down; some were lost, others thrown away. In 2006, Simona wrote Two Doves in a Fishbowl. This is her first published fiction.
