Megan has been beaten by her husband and left seriously hurt. Allie, her Nova Lady and friend, stops by, sees what has happened, and takes her to the hospital. Allie is there for her as she comes to terms with what the future has in store for her. I liked Allie. She's got a lot of problems of her own but she still goes out of her way to help others. These are good characters. While domestic violence is not a pleasant topic, it is handled very well here. I liked how this book shows the emotional, Megan has been beaten by her husband and left seriously hurt.

I liked Allie. She's got a lot of problems of her own but she still goes out of her way to help others. These are good characters. While domestic violence is not a pleasant topic, it is handled very well here. I liked how this book shows the emotional, as well as the physical, side of it. I particularly liked how the after effects of hospitalization and the fear of the perpetrator's return is shown. With Allie and people who have become her friends, Megan has a support system. Allie has also found a support system within this circle of friends. Both have found a family who will support them no matter what happens. This was a good read with great characters. I look forward to the second book. |
