It's said ones past has the potential to define ones future. Not for Lizzy Anderson. A MEASURE OF COURAGE is a romantic thriller told from multiple perspectives, with shifts between scenes reminiscent of James Patterson's Alex Cross novels. It is told mainly from the perspective of the victim, using flashbacks interspersed with vividly drawn scenes in the present. Based on true events, Lizzy Anderson must find the courage to break through the walls she built and accept her past in order to save her future.
