National Indie Excellence Awarded therapeutic thriller series of nonfiction. Exploring the next 5 years after Shot Glass… Ex-spouses attempt to live under one roof after a gut-wrenching divorce. His return to make amends is sincere; the sobriety part, meh. Raising three kids without child support was not in the court order. Jessica is the only one left to help Josh get sober and hold a job, but at what cost? Put her life on hold? Ratchet the co-dependency? Play head games for money? The kids each have their way of handling the compounding chaos at home. Jess keeps her kind wit, but self-preservation and compassion are in a constant battle. She is thriving as assistant director of rehab—part of a Batman and Robin duo of geriatrics taking on colorful patients such as grumpy Olga (an awarded vignette) and a retired mob-boss rubbed the wrong way by Rex the cowboy; both are in their eighties and losing their memory. Getting an ex-spouse to rehab proves to be complicated, comical and risky. With eyes of steel, ice clinks in his tumbler. "Jess-i-ca, do you really know what you're doing? Think about that." I don't even turn around. "I'm wondering if you really want to burn your last bridge, Josh." The worst that could happen is they never change. Rochelle, a member of International Thriller Writers (ITW), demonstrates unique mastery of story-telling nonfiction in the psychological thriller genre. Crafted as a suspenseful stand-alone, Beneath Rock Bottom is also the awaited sequel to Rochelle's awarded debut, Shot Glass: One woman's fight to save her kingdom. Reviews “Beneath Rock Bottom is exemplary in its theme and its character appeal and development. All main characters are unique (including antagonist) and fully fleshed out with compelling, layered motivations and traits. Secondary characters are unique and have a meaningful purpose. It is unique but still has strong appeal for most readers in its intended genre. The book is well plotted. The conclusion was really stellar in a subtle way.” ~ Judge, 33rd Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards. “Rochelle’s willingness to lay her painful experiences bare is inspiring. It is a story of a courageous woman who single-handedly sets out to make life better for her children, her family, and herself. ” ~ Book Life Review Awards: Chapter 2 "Therapist Crusades", scene “Olga’s Therapy”, by Writers Digest. Chapter 9 "Junkyard Parts", short-listed by The Letter Review.
