Carnage in D minor

Born in the Deep South, Leeza Allen was a piano prodigy by the age of six. But life took a tragic turn with the death of her single mother when Leeza was fourteen, crushing their dream of her becoming a concert pianist.

Leeza followed in her mother's footsteps as a nurse, relying on Army ROTC for her education. During her early career as an RN and a commissioned officer, she endured a deployment in a war zone that left her with severe PTSD and a battle with addiction.

Twenty years later, Leeza is a married mother of two and a successful neurosurgical nurse practitioner. She is also a passionate activist. Driven by her own mental challenges and a deep desire to help others, she embarks on a desperate, ethically questionable quest to discover a revolutionary treatment for mental illness. Her goal: "mental conflict remission" and a global shift to destigmatize mental illness.

Though the journey is fraught with danger and illegality, Leeza's passion and strength ultimately carry her through, culminating in a powerful story of global triumph.

"This book is a diamond in the rough. It's not just a psychological thriller - it's a character study rooted in real-world psychological issues. The honest and raw portrayal of PTSD, emotional abuse, and complex family trauma sets this novel apart. Leeza is a captivating and unforgettable protagonist whose journey will stay with the reader long after 'The End.'"
