by Michael Smith (Veshengro)
Save the Pearls Part One REVEALING EDEN is now available online at SavethePearls.com, Amazon and other major book retailers as both a hardcover and e-book. Advanced Readers Copies garnered rave reviews and the book was “very much recommended” by The Midwest Book Review.
In Save the Pearls Part One REVEALING EDEN, Foyt examines the themes of beauty, racism and the deteriorating environment in an entertaining fantasy/sci-fi plot with a romantic love story at its core. Geared to the Young Adult market, the novel is the first in a series and marks Foyt’s second novel for this burgeoning demographic. Foyt said of her new book: “I set out to write a futuristic beauty and the beast story and ended up tapping into deep-seated fears and fantasies of my own. I believe the themes of racism and beauty, while seemingly harsh, are universal and hopefully, enlightening.”
The positive feedback regarding Save the Pearls Part One REVEALING EDEN implies the potential of it being produced as a film. The book transcends and fuses several genres, including adventure romance with a fantasy/sci-fi plot, to form an intriguing and riveting story that entertains readers across the board.
Sand Dollar Press Inc. Head of Marketing Chaton Anderson commented, "Sand Dollar Press is honored to launch such a compelling and creative project that will have a lasting impact on the way readers view the prevalence of racism, preconceptions of beauty and its distortion by the media, and ultimately, how they live their lives. We’re also thrilled that Victoria has decided to make this book available in e-book format as it will avail her work to a new demographic.”

Review to follow but what I can say so far that it is a very gripping story that moves rather fast and appears to be very interesting and, oh, by the way, I am not a young adult (at least not according to my date of birth) but still I am enjoying it.
