I have to say, I was so excited at first. A new Lizzy Ford book! YAY! And then I saw the subject matter and realized I may be uncomfortable reading this. I told myself to start it, if it makes me uncomfortable, I will stop. And I did not stop. Not until it ended.  The book is a painful subject for any woman. If you personally have not been through it, you likely know someone that has. If you have daughters, this is every parent's nightmare. Mia is a teenage girl at a party and drinking. Someone slips something in her drink and rapes and beats her. The physical scars heal, as such things do, but she is mentally scarred and does not want to be fixed.  On top of it, she has a heartless family that only cares how things look to the public. You are there with Mia. You feel every bit of her pain and horror, all the while cheering her on to beat this. I found myself thinking about this book the next day at work. It is not so graphic that I couldn't read it, yet detailed enough that I definitely could see it in my mind. I cannot wait to see the next part of Mia's story.
