So . . . the lovely Shayne offered this free over the weekend and I was happy to snag it up late last night. I had read the reviews, and the Synop many times but couldn't bring myself to buy it.I finished her other short story, Being Delightful (http://www.amazon.com/Being-Delightful-ebook/dp/B00BTJQQHC/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1363617344&sr;=1-1&keywords;=being+delightful) while nursing my newborn at 5am this morning. I should NOT have started it . . . of course, I couldn't stop. It isn't a book you can put down.You may consider this a SPOILER . . .This is story is rough. No, this is down right heart wrenching. I was hysterical with tears and emotions. You honestly feel for Daphne, not just emotionally - but physically. I swear, as a woman, my body ached for her . . .I think it is honestly the worst story I have ever read - it makes you feel for so many women that are brutalized daily, all over the world. It makes me sad to think that while this story is fiction - it could be closer to the truth for someone.That being said . . . this BOOK is good. It has your emotions all over the place. It made me sad, and happy. And while not everything always has a happy ending, it brings me peace to know someone, like Daphne, might find it in a nice person that shows compassion & safety when a person thinks there is none left in the world. I hope there is a Ryan out there for them.Get your tissues, and ugly cries ready.
