Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me.
Whoever coined that phrase is a bald-faced liar. Words are often the sharpest weapon of all, triggering some of the most powerful emotions a human can experience.
“You’re pregnant.”
“It’s a boy.”
“Your son needs a heart transplant.”
Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me.
Lies.
Syllables and letters may not be tangible, but they can still destroy your entire life faster than a bullet from a gun.
Two words—that was all it took to extinguish the sun from my sky.
“He’s gone.”
For ten years, the darkness consumed me.
In the end, it was four deep, gravelly words that gave me hope of another sunrise.
“Hi. I’m Porter Reese."

Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me.
Bullshit.
Words destroyed me.
“I’m sorry. She didn’t make it.”
“Daddy, he can’t breathe!”
“There’s nothing more we can do for your son.”
Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me.
Lies.
Those syllables and letters became my executioner. I told myself that, if I didn’t acknowledge the pain and the fear, they would have no power over me. But, as the years passed, the hate and the anger left behind began to control me.
Two words—that was all it took to plunge my life into darkness.
“He’s gone.”
In the end, it was four soft, silky words that gave me hope of another sunrise.
“Hi. I’m Charlotte Mills.”
Charlotte found herself unexpectedly pregnant right before beginning medical school. Surprised at the time after having Lucas she couldn't imagine a world without him. While walking in the park, Charlotte goes to help another child during a medical emergency stepping away from Lucas's stroller only to return minutes later to find him missing without a trace. Fast-ford 10 years and Charlotte is one of the most prominent and respected pulmonologist but the only catch is that she does not treat children; it is just too painful because of her memories of Lucas. Charlotte is married to her job and had dedicated her life to saving adults but she is only surviving in this world.
Porter is a single dad also only surviving in this world. He has a four year old daughter and a older son. Porter's son is very sick and has spent the last several years in and out of the hospital where they would build his immunity up, release him home, and then the process would start all over again. Porter is desperate to try and get Charlotte to see his son. When he is blackmailed into meeting Charlotte, not knowing who she was at the time, the two hit if off as much as too people can that are only surviving in this world. Porter calls her on her emptiness; he recognizes it because he too feels empty after surviving his own tragedy. The two eventually begin seeing each other as much as a single-dad and doctor can with work all the while keeping Charlotte from meeting Porter's children. When it looks like their might be a break in Lucas's case, Aly Martinez pulls a big ol' plot-twist! The Darkest Sunrise ends in cliff-hanger so if that isn't your thing, wait until second book of the series comes out, The Brightest Sunset. I can't wait to read the second book of the series. This is a must-read for any Aly Martinez fan; a fantastic book.
Originally from Savannah, Georgia, USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez now lives in South Carolina with her four young children.
Never one to take herself too seriously, she enjoys cheap wine, mystery leggings, and baked feta. It should be known, however, that she hates pizza and ice cream, almost as much as writing her bio in the third person.
She passes what little free time she has reading anything and everything she can get her hands on, preferably with a super-sized tumbler of wine by her side.
