I'm not sure many people will understand this book. The author is writing emotions, describing them in a very unique way. I believe you really have to 'read' it to get it.I wouldn't call this book a happily ever after. I would describe it as being a peaceful past the huddle of life beginning.Gator and Gidget are two haunted souls who've known the worst side of life having gone through the worst kind of abuse in their childhoods that have left them scarred and damaged. They find each other when Gator is hired to kill Gidget and her father (good riddance to bad rubbish!). He heals her by seeing her as more than a child whore and she heals him by making him feel safe and supporting him through the only way he knows how to feel worth, killing evil people and not once does she judge him.Leaving their pasts behind in their old home and moving to a new country, they become Jake and Mia James. And in their new lives and with a fresh start, they have a chance to be the parents they never had with their son.This book really made me blood thirsty for revenge and justice-- and in this read they were the same thing to me. It made me sad and angry and yet resigned knowing such evils in the trusting forms of parents do exist in this world. It also made me feel blessed having been raised by a selfless mother.A heartwretching and yet an uplifting and inspiring read.
