Perhaps the distraction appears as a demanding career, volunteerism, or an OCD behavior takes the place of the unbearable anguish.In the suspenseful, thriller Illusions (In the Arms of the Law #1) by the talented author Kacey Hammell is a story I quickly identified with and it grabbed my emotions, gave them a good, hard shake and dropped me back into reality.
