Excellent continueing story by the bestselling author of BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. This is the story of what happened next... From the cover: "In Behind Closed Doors, Jenny told the story or a brutal childhood, growing up in a house where no one was safe and violent beatings, humiliations, and sexual abuse from their father were part of daily life for her and for younger sister Kim. Both Jenny and Kim escaped the family home as soon as possible but in a sickening pattern of violence, Jenny went on to suffer unimaginable degradations at the hands of her violent partner. Kim endured the agony of watching history repeat itself in her sister's life. When their beloved younger brother died in a tragic accident, both girls were devastated.

But both Jenny and Kim found love and joy through motherhood. For Jenny, her daugher Martine McCutcheon was the blessing that enabled her to survive the nightmare inflicted by Martine's father. And through all the horror, what kept the girls going was the extraordinarily powerful bond between the two of them, which has given them the strength nto just to survive but to triumph over the misery of the past."
