She can't run from her past... In the middle of the night, Claire flees her abusive, alcoholic husband Scott, taking their four-year old daughter along with her. Seeking some long-needed peace, Claire goes to her sister Annie and her family, hoping she can at last begin the process of healing. As she embarks on this new life she meets a family friend. Buck, who seems to be everything any woman would want-successful, handsome, charming. Claire wants to let him in, but how could she be ready to love again? And can they even survive when Scott will not stop until they are where they both belong? Trigger Warning! I wrote this book as a way to finally get out the feelings and situations I personally dealt with when I was younger. Domestic violence is a everywhere. It does not discriminate. This book mirrors some of the abuse I personally experienced and the feelings I went through. This is a story of hope and being able to move beyond abuse. A story about being a victim and becoming a survivor.
