A gritty and deeply moving depiction of the author's struggle with domestic violence and its threats to her self-esteem. Laying Down My Burdens tells a frighteningly familiar tale that takes a positive turn as Thomas overcomes a number of obstacles to become an independent, successful woman. Since self-publishing Threesome in 2001, Thomas' literary skills and unique perspective have caught the attention of major media outlets. Whether it's TV or print, she isn't one to shy away from giving her opinion. After working as a personal assistant to an NBA athlete, Thomas became an expert on their culture, later appearing on CNN, NBC's Dateline and Entertainment Tonight, to name a few. Since then she has penned three best-selling novels: Fourplay, The Velvet Rope and Every Woman's Got a Secret, as well as two anthologies, Four Degrees of Heat, and Kiss The Year Goodbye.
