The Lotus Blossom: A Novel About Waking Up

Madison Albright’s life takes an unexpected detour out of the isolated comfort of her suburban community where teenagers are taught how to market their looks and everyone is obsessed with their social credit score when she brutally defeats a classmate who tries to rape her. D. M. Kenyon's debut novel of a teenage girl's transformation from texting gossip maven into a deeply aware, compassionate woman of conscience and commitment takes readers on a rare journey into personal evolution and self-mastery. Kenyon introduces readers to an eclectic cast of characters including Rinchen, a thoughtful meditation and martial arts instructor, and his twin children who have been raised to greet risk with skill and temper power with love. This rich, engaging story shows us how enlightenment can be found in racing motorcycles over treacherous but lovely stretches of highway or in the contemplation of a single flower. The Lotus Blossom is a deeply moving, often humorous story that stays with readers long after they've turned the last page.
