There are many who put down romance novels as trite or banal. Obviously, those people haven't encountered most of the books I read.Their opinions would change, and quickly.Such could be said of Ms. Torre's book, The Dumont Diaries.  It is a painful journey of discovery in a troubled woman's life.  Living beneath the radar as a stripper, Candace is overcome by guilt and obligation, marred by shame.  None of her dreams have come through, so she subsists on her job as a stripper.Then along comes a chance, cleverly disguised as an opportunity, when in all reality, it is just a gold-paved road.  Nathan is emotionally crippled, to the point that he is totally unaware of how unhealthy his obsession with his former fiance is.As I read, I couldn't help but watch the growth the two characters underwent.  How they had to face up to what they were going through.It was a fascinating journey through emotional crippled souls that discover healing IS possible if one works hard enough for it.Well-Done!
