About this book

Walking on Thin Ice, a memoir of love, hate, envy, and greed traces a young womans pursuit of stardom down a dangerous road that leads to shattered dreams and a harrowing fate. I found myself staring down the barrel of a revolver, and a wave of disbelief rippled through me ... An explosion blasted me into a nightmare. The room swirled slowly. Clickclick. The sound reverberated each time she pulled the trigger. I realized this woman was trying to kill me! In Walking on Thin Ice, ReGena Bell-Roberts shares her riveting story against the backdrop of a childhood sexual molestation. She is one, among a few young girls from the small town of Pasco, Washington, who harbored dreams of fame, fortune, and a craving for the love of a powerful man. After high school graduation, ReGenas life transforms. Despite myriad warnings, she falls for the charming Max Clayton, a thirty-three year old streetwise hustler who entices her into a dark underworld of illicit sex and drugs. When Max betrays her, their life takes a fateful turn. The gripping saga explodes in the Mount Baker area of Seattle, Washington; and depicts ReGenas struggle to deal with a tragic life-changing event that threatens her very existence. But she fights back with unshakable strength, courage, and a will to survive.
