Everyone needs someone at the best of times, but at the worst of times, such support is imperative.No such crutch is available to Donna, the heroine of Against Her Will, who is brutally raped and left to deal with the horrifying consequences alone. Suicide beckons and a pretty devastating scenario cries out for a glimmer of hope.That hope is eventually forthcoming in the form of a young male nurse, and other victims she meets in the mental institution into which she has descended.But Sunshine and laughter do not miraculously light up her sad and battered life. This tale is far more complex than that. Even perceived solutions can quickly turn into problems. It’s a tough and rocky life for Donna, one that will keep the reader gripped until the end.A harrowing story that is periodically warmed by goodness, only to be plunged back into gloom.Peter Martin deals adroitly with a sensitive plot and ensures the reader stays with him throughout the journey.I recommend you immerse yourself in this book. You will emerge feeling glad that you did.
