"It took running away for me to find myself."Let me start by saying there is some disturbing material in the beginning and the end of this book, specifically domestic violence and rape. Estelle (Star) has been involved in an abusive relationship for a number of years. Every time she thinks about leaving, she talks herself out of it. Finally she is ready to take that step and, of course, it changes her life."beautifully fragile."When her car breaks down in a small town, she's disappointed because this is not what she had planned. When the town's people take her in and treat her like family, she realizes that things happen for a reason."The only comfort he knew to give her was to just hold her while she cried."I always say that a book written from different points of view adds so much to the story and Lori L. Clark has such a way with writing that simply amazes me. This book moves from one POV to another's almost with each paragraph. I would think that this would be confusing but it's not. The story flows seamlessly and the character switch is not only done beautifully but adds so much to the story. I love the small town setting. I lived in a small town for many years and I miss that closeness in the community.  Most of the characters in this book are wonderful people that I would be happy to call friend.  The villain however is truly detestable, a real love to hate person. I almost cheered when karma caught up to him. There are some sexy scenes as well as some hold your breath ones. All in all I enjoyed this book and give it 4 stars."You've got such a one track mind." - Star
