Author M. Suzanne Petitt has released her second book, 'A Determined Few,' through Authors Publishing House. The work is described as a fiction/non-fiction account following a couple's struggle to overcome obstacles that prevent them from reaching a goal. Petitt's first book, 'Education: Out of the Box,' critiqued the public education system's failure to provide all students with work and life-centered courses.
Petitt, who works as a school counselor, stated she is 'thrilled' to bring the new book to readers. 'The book explores the complexities of human nature, provides crucial insights into our decision making process,' she said. 'And in the end asks the reader if it was all worth it!' The publisher notes the narrative is filled with suspense and intrigue and questions societal value systems.
The book's release is significant as it represents a continuation of Petitt's focus on societal critique, moving from institutional analysis in education to a more personal examination of values and human struggle. The hybrid fiction/non-fiction format suggests an attempt to blend narrative engagement with real-world commentary, a approach that can make complex themes more accessible to a general audience.
For the publishing industry, the release highlights the ongoing role of smaller publishing houses like Authors Publishing House in bringing diverse voices and experimental formats to market. The book is currently available for purchase on Amazon. Petitt mentioned the story was inspired by 'two people that lived the adventure,' indicating a basis in observed or reported real-life experiences.
The author is reportedly now working on writing a play. The publication of 'A Determined Few' contributes to conversations about purpose, value, and resilience, themes with broad relevance to readers navigating personal and professional challenges in contemporary society.
