This book made me cry, scream, toss my kindle, want to pull my hair out.You will laugh, cry, get ticked off, want to yell at the characters and find peace by the end.All that emotion in one little book.Be forewarned, there is physical abuse in this book and a bit graphic at times.I couldn't put the book down, I read it in one day, barely stopping.The story started out a little slow but I promise it will pick up.Personal experiences starts in the 2nd grade when T.J. meets Elle. Their relationship moves on to high school, graduation and going off to college.Everything changes at this point.Elle doesn't want to hold T.J. back so she hides her pregnancy from him, sending him off to school as if nothings wrong. Meanwhile she's agreed to marry his best friend, to keep the town from talking about her being a single mom, small town politics.Over the next 17 years Elle deals with horrible physical abuse from her husband, who only married her to get his hands on her fathers money. Going as far as to kill her father and stepmother thinking he would gain control.After 17 yrs T.J. comes back to town, Elle is forced to work with him while he acquires the company her husband Bear works for.She has to go out of town with him to get his business out of town squared away before moving back home.It's takes awhile or T.J. to find out whats going on at home, he swears to protect her and get her out of her marriage so she can be with him, only to have the bombshell of the twins paternity smack him in the face.A few weeks later she hears from T.J. again, he wants to meet his childrent, Elle agrees and they move forward with plans to let him spend more time with the kids.Elle goes home and her husband makes her pay like he never has before.Will T.J. be able to save her??For all the suffering by both parties in this book it has it's happy ending. I'm glad I read this book though generally any more than one or two instances of domestic abuse and rape would have had me putting the book down, this one I couldn't, it kept me intrigued enough to get through to the end.I know this is a stand alone book but I do hope there's something more coming from Tracy Lee soon, I'll be sure to read it.
