Liberty Hill Publishing presents a fictionalized portrayal of sexual abuse grooming directed at young readers.

WILMINGTON, Ill., Dec. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Author Linda Meschino Mounts addresses the topic of sexual abuse with a young audience in Any Girl ($14.99, paperback, 9798868500015; $5.99, e-book, 9798868500022).

"I wanted to be able to let a child be aware of the perpetrator, how they win your trust. Also to have the courage to tell on them if the act should happen"

This book tells the story of a girl who innocently gave her love to someone who was not as innocent as herself. Through the fictional story, Mounts hopes to illustrate the grooming process so that children can recognize it and, if worse comes to worst, report it.

"I wanted to be able to let a child be aware of the perpetrator, how they win your trust. Also to have the courage to tell on them if the act should happen," said Mounts.

Linda Meschino Mounts is a middle child of six who grew up on welfare after her parents divorced and was, herself, a victim as a child. As an adult, she married twice and had three daughters, three grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. Mounts studied art at SAIC. She now lives with family in Wilmington, Illinois.

Liberty Hill Publishing, a division of Salem Media Group, is a leader in the print-on-demand, self-publishing industry. Any Girl is available online through amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com.
