This book was amazing! All else in my world came to a halt as I became deeper and deeper engrossed in the book. I could not put it down. I truly did not know what to expect from the book when I read the preface. I wasn't sure how gory the book would be and I was worried that I would not be able to complete the book.The book drew me in and I was unable to put it down. It was full of emotion and suspense and it was next to impossible to figure out what the next page held in store. I fell in love with characters. They were honest and raw.Jesse, a young undercover cop, is a sassy young woman with bad attitude and news written all over her when she shows up looking for work at Morgan's farm.Morgan, sporting her own emotional scars from years gone by meets her match in the saucy young girl, seeing herself in Jesse.Ry, Morgan's life partner and retired psychologist, sees through Jesse's smart mouth and attitude and is determined to help her face her demons.Three women, hanging on for the ride of a life-time, manage to make it through tumultuous days on the farm where Morgan fights to keep her temper in check while all the while wanting to either throttle Jesse, or fire her. Jesse, unconsciously feeling the security that Morgan doesn't realize she gives, tests Morgan at every turn. In the security of these two women, Jesse's hidden memories of the abduction and torture begin to surface, and Morgan and Ry are determine to save her tortured soul.The book has a powerful message contained within its covers. It is a story of courage, of betrayal, of learning to trust again, and in its own way, a coming of age. The descriptive text used throughout the story leaves you spellbound; the plot well written.Alison captures the essence of the tortured mind of a young undercover cop who subconscious buries a time of abduction and torture by a drug Lord. This book is one of those books that beg to be read.
