Official Review provided By:
Rhea Alexis Banks with Mattie’s Periodicals & Chair Woman for Chi-Town Reading Circle
Wow...this is an intricately woven and emotionally engaging drama that keeps you totally engrossed!! Elizabeth Funderbirk has constructed a story that is action driven and chucked full of emotional tidal waves.
For me, it was also educational, tested my beliefs, convictions, and confirmed the need for boundaries. "Love TORN Asunder" is comprised of a host of characters but each is essential in their roles as this author fluidly moves from one course to another. Leslie is the main character and the center of this thoroughly told story of her life, choices, deeds, deception, and the effects of such on her and those that love her. Leslie is a steady and secure woman until an extended separation from the one she loves sends her traveling down a road lined with deception and manipulation cloaked in caring and friendship. With her feelings of loneliness, her allowing people to get in her ear thus head, she ventures down a road that up heaves her life in ways that could be detrimental to her, to all that she has built and those that she loves.
"Love TORN Asunder" is a tale of choice that is a great conversational piece as it taps on so many actions and situations that we face in our everyday lives. I must commend this author on the way she penned this story in the voices of each character as they took the forefront at their given times. Ms. Funderbirk did an excellent job in developing these characters and with their own voices. In doing so, it lead to an interesting read that kept me totally engrossed and anxious to "hear" what happened next....YES, I said hear as this book reads as if the characters are each telling their own stories. TORN is an on-point depiction of this book and what can become of its effects, as it is thought provoking, trying, full of personal growth and acceptance. Chi-Town Reading Circle and I have fully anticipated this book and it was well worth the wait. By the way "Love TORN Asunder" ended, I know there has to be more and I am fully anticipating it as well.... it took everything in me not to contact this author and ask just a few questions.
For her first time out the gate, she did an exceptional job and I can assure you that she will be around for a long time to come producing this kind of work. Kudos to Elizabeth Funderbirk for a story well told!! I give this premier novel 5 stars easily.

Thunderous applause for Elizabeth and her debut novel, LOVE TORN ASUNDER. Typically, I do not like stories that are heavily character-driven, but this novel was a very excellent read. Elizabeth wrote in five voices (Kendrick, Leslie, Devine, Lincoln, and Her) and each of them was distinguishable and unique. What Elizabeth did best was effectively convey the points of view of each character with respect to to the plot thoroughly and expertly.
LOVE TORN ASUNDER is the story of Leslie who is happily involved in an intimate relationship with a traveling businessman, Lincoln that is missing any intimacy. In the beginning of the novel, she is convinced to move in with her best friend Devine, a stripper, at the Red Rooster, Buffalo, New York's premiere strip club. That move is seemingly the worse move of her life. Leslie is reconnected with a childhood friend (and Devine's cousin) Kendrick, who is able to sweep her off her feet and into her bed for a night of passion, which leads to a three month sordid affair. An affair that exposes Kendrick's wife and Leslie's husband to a considerable amount of pain, and Devine to a jealous rage. A rage that assists Kendrick's wife in telling the ultimate lie to break-up her husband's happiness when not at home. And a lie that brings Leslie's engagement to a complete halt. In the end, LOVE TORN ASUNDER ended powerfully with a twisted cliffhanger that was done so smoothly, there doesn't even need to be a part two. But, rest assured I am waiting for part two.
I tip my hat to the story development. I also would like to be in Buffalo a little more and perhaps have a sub-plot, which could release the grip that Leslie's drama had on me, which was not bad. (wink wink)
I would definitely recommend everyone dealing with relationship and cheating issues read this. Elizabeth has concisely given it psychology-style and knows her way around the minds of all the characters involved in a love triangle. It was scary at times to see how well she has developed these characters. The plot is a casebook example of The triangular theory, which is a theory of love developed by psychologist Robert Sternberg, and is a must read.

Now if you thought ZANE'S Books are hot! Then you really need to read Elizabeth's novel "Love Torn Asunder" This well written novel is just that. These characters in this book will have you absolutely on edge of your seat, from all the drama in their lives.
They are seeking to find satisfaction, intimacy from the ones that they have come to love deeply.
Some of them even stumble while forfeiting their own feelings to make others happy. Somewhere on this journey in seeking a bit of harmony, the character Leslie feels something that is not familiar at all.
Kendrick is not whom he should be as a man, but will he get it together right before its much too late? Oh and that Devine- DIVA with a mind to make it do what it do, to pay her way, can or will she find her way out of the drama she has created along the way. I wish I could say more, but you will have to get your own copy to see how it turns out!
I say Fiery and Very Combustible!!!!

Aaahhh!! I'm SO frustrated. I was on the edge of my seat trying my best to get to the ending of this book. I HAD to know what happened to everyone. Got to the end. Big Bummer. Now I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for Part TWO!!!
I REALLY enjoyed reading Love Torn Asunder. This isn’t like one of those books where I had to MAKE myself read it. I never once got bored or lost concentration! It kept my attention the entire time. All of the twists and turns kept me wanting more and more. It was as if I was there and could imagine every single detail. From the hairstyles to the inside of "Her" house. Amazing.
I had NO clue who Elizabeth was until I "met" her on Facebook. I never imagined that I could be THIS proud of a "stranger". After chatting back and forth with Elizabeth, I realized that this "stranger" is so humble and down to earth. She is very grateful and counts her blessings for sure! I'm so proud of her and she certainly is much more than a stranger now.
Very well written book!! Looking forward to Part 2! Awesome job!!!
Oh and did I mention that this is her FIRST published book? If her first book is this entertaining, then I can’t wait to see what her second book has to offer!!

Writing for a purpose....
Writing for a purpose....
When I began my Literary Journey, I had no idea where it would lead me. All I knew when I started blogging was that I had a dream for many years to write novels. At first that dream was to write books regarding a children’s series. As time passed, my ambitions to write still remained but the content became different.
I now consider myself a relationship novelist. Can I claim that title with only one book in publication? lol Well, I am claiming it now! My next novel will be published Oct/Nov 2011.
My heart and Pen lead me in this direction due to personal trials that I have gone through, that I have witnessed, that I have heard of.
Relationships consist of the relations between not only lovers, but also friends, family, associates, and the people who surround you in your everyday life. I wanted to write on the dynamics of those relationships. How everyone is effected and the path your choices can lead you and those around you.
I want to display these relationships with giving each person/character their own voice. Allowing them to come to the forefront and giving the details of why they make certain choices, and the background on what makes that person/character essentially who they are.
I believe that your environment will affect the moves you make in life. May it be for the negative or positive? Only when you get an understanding of you and your place in this world can you work on making a change and progressing. I want my novels to explore those dimensions inside these relationships.
My Debut Novel "Love TORN Asunder" explores several relationships. Of a committed couple, That of secret Lovers, A couple that is on the brink of destruction, Friendships that have come to a cross roads, Between co-workers, and Family communications or lack thereof.
These relationships are the foundations that center your life. How do you navigate them all and do so gracefully, when you are still growing as a person yourself. This goes back to my statement in "knowing who you are and your place in the world".
"Love TORN Asunder" is a tale that will take you on Leslie’s Journey. Life is Beautiful and Messy all at the same time. Read, “Love TORN Asunder”, and watch as these charters interact and grow, between the sheets of this novel.
To read the Synopsis, Reviews, and make a purchase please visit "Literary Liz Writes" http://LiteraryLiz.com.
This novel is also available on Amazon, On-line through all major book retailers, At store locations by request, kindle, nook & all e-readers.
Although this book is written to entertain, there is a lot to be learned. I want those that read my novel to enjoy the tale as well as pique questions inside of them on their beliefs. Is life black and white? Moreover, how to does one navigate within the gray areas? This book will absolutely spark a discussion. Read it with a Friend, Your mate, or a Book Club so that you can really dissect the messages. Talk about what you would have done, and how you would have done things differently. Can you relate to any of the characters? Who and Why?
An entraining book is just that, Entertainment but all books can teach a lesson. I am praying that "Love TORN Asunder" teaches many.
In my development as a writer, I have grown. That growth lead me to want to further explore my writing and the purpose behind it. I love what I am doing. Writing has been a long time dream and aspiration. Throughout time that dream has grown and taken on many branches. One of them for me being my desire to not only write to entertain but to write with a purpose.
Building on that, I founded a non-profit project "Saving Lives Through Lit"(SLTL). Saving Lives Through Lit started with being an Anthology the centered around Domestic Violence Abuse. The Debut novel for this project is "Voices Behind The Tears" and will be release Oct/Nov of 2011, with the profits going to "Our Hearts Foundation". Our Hearts is dedicated to Domestic Violence Awareness and Outreach. Our mission is to shed light on the many taboo, silenced subjects that are tearing our communities down, we hope that our efforts will be a starting point to re-building what has been broken. What so many speak about in hushed tones, SLTL want to shout it out and make it a priority to find solutions and provide aid.
The Saving Lives One Book At a Time series, will publish Anthologies between 1- 3 times a year that will explore different topics. Authors, Poets, and Spoken Word artist that have been in these same situations that we write about, have been witness to it, or just feel compelled to lend their skills and talent to spreading awareness will write the stories you find inside these novels.
With each book in the series we plan to cover many topics, we also will be seeking different organizations to partner with that provides outreach and programs. The profits will go to donations to these organizations and future SLTL projects. This is only the beginning of Saving Lives Through Literature. There are so many plans in the works for different campaigns that we will be running on our Web Site http://SavingLivesThroughLit.Org . This project would not have been as successful as it is without the help of all the Authors and Poets that contributed the overwhelming response by those in the literary community that donated services in order to get this project off the ground, the behind the scenes staff and especially the co-founder Kiexiza Rodriguez.
Saving Lives Through Lit will be branching off into Chapters. These chapters will be able to highlight Outreach programs and organizations in their city/state on a web page that is directly linked to the main SLTL Web site. These programs, SLTL will promote and provide fund raising opportunities.
If you are interested in collaborating with SLTL we are currently seeking Corporate sponsors, Authors/poets for upcoming Anthologies, Web Site host, Chapter leaders, and many other positions. In order to inquire please send an email to the official SLTL email: savinglivesthroughlit@ymail.com.
This is a passion of mine and I want my life to be about what I gave back. I want my writing/work to reflect my purpose.

The Debut novel for this project is "Voices Behind The Tears" and will be release Oct/Nov of 2011, with the profits going to "Our Hearts Foundation". Our Hearts is dedicated to Domestic Violence Awareness and Outreach. Our mission is to shed light on the many taboo, silenced subjects that are tearing our communities down, we hope that our efforts will be a starting point to re-building what has been broken. What so many speak about in hushed tones, SLTL want to shout it out and make it a priority to find solutions and provide aid.
The Saving Lives One Book At a Time series, will publish Anthologies between 1- 3 times a year that will explore different topics. Authors, Poets, and Spoken Word artist that have been in these same situations that we write about, have been witness to it, or just feel compelled to lend their skills and talent to spreading awareness will write the stories you find inside these novels.
With each book in the series we plan to cover many topics, we also will be seeking different organizations to partner with that provides outreach and programs. The profits will go to donations to these organizations and future SLTL projects. This is only the beginning of Saving Lives Through Literature. There are so many plans in the works for different campaigns that we will be running on our Web Site http://SavingLivesThroughLit.Org . This project would not have been as successful as it is without the help of all the Authors and Poets that contributed the overwhelming response by those in the literary community that donated services in order to get this project off the ground, the behind the scenes staff and especially the co-founder Kiexiza Rodriguez.
Saving Lives Through Lit will be branching off into Chapters. These chapters will be able to highlight Outreach programs and organizations in their city/state on a web page that is directly linked to the main SLTL Web site. These programs, SLTL will promote and provide fund raising opportunities.
If you are interested in collaborating with SLTL we are currently seeking Corporate sponsors, Authors/poets for upcoming Anthologies, Web Site host, Chapter leaders, and many other positions. In order to inquire please send an email to the official SLTL email: savinglivesthroughlit@ymail.com.
This is a passion of mine and I want my life to be about what I gave back. I want my writing/work to reflect my purpose.
Lots of Love LiteraryLiz…. Author/Writer/Blogger ~ Elizabeth Funderbirk
