Night Owls


Book Description

"Night Owls is compelling to me in three ways. As a trauma expert, Night Owls eloquently tells the story of how trauma affects a young person's life trajectory. As a sports psychotherapist, Night Owls sensitively shows the psychological struggles of a young, gifted athlete. As a writer I loved Megan Armstrong's story telling, characters and writing style. I highly recommend that you buy this book for yourself and your close friends." -Dr. David Grand, Ph.D., psychotherapist and author "Mental health issues have long been swept under the rug, not to be mentioned. Ever. With this book and these characters, Armstrong has thrown the rug, the broom, and every stigma out the window." -Michelle Beadle, ESPN personality "I cant imagine the fear a first time author must go through when their first book comes to fruition but Megan Armstrong need fear not. From the start Night Owls is enthralling, engaging and told from the heart. Knowing the drive and dedication that Megan has both for life and in her writing I expected no less. And it comes across on every page every second. I am both proud and thrilled for her as I am sure you will be as well once you read Night Owls." -Jeremy Woodard, Broadway actor
