In this book, through the eyes and voice of the main character, we hear a spell binding story about how at 19, she fell in love and how a passionate
marriage becomes a nightmark, why she stayed, and what happened on the night she decided to run away with her ten year old son & start a new life under a new name. Living in fear in Florida yet with increasing confidence, she begins to heal from the pain of the past and almost believes the man she's escaped from will not find her and again provoke the attraction and destruction they had together.
This is a beautifully written and heart stopping story about a marriage, about abuse, and the inexplicable feelings between people who are connected in ways they don't understand. Great read!
