This was a phenomenal story that will capture the hearts of readers regarding the struggles with domestic violence. This is such a strong issue today and is definitely a difficult subject to write about but Nicole Andrews Moore did a great job capturing the true aspects of domestic violence. I felt it was very empowering! There is help out there for those who need it…. You just need to look for it and be willing and ready.Not all domestic violence is to the extreme or even begins that way. It is a gradual process that will build over time until that person finally snaps and the victim is so far involved in the relationship it is hard to get out. My heart broke for Nina and all she had to experience with Shane. She cared so much about his well being but at the same time she had her daughter, Kylie, who had special needs to think about. She chooses her daughter and does what is best for her no matter how many times she questions some of her actions. I felt pride for Nina for taking a stance!Many times in these types of relationships you think the abuser will change and things will get better. You love that person and want the best for them but when do you finally say enough is enough???!!! You can’t change people; they must be willing to change themselves. Nina is a strong and confident woman and in the end she figures it all out!I hope that people remember that there is more than just physical abuse in relationships. You can also be verbally and mentally abused and if you ever find yourself in one of those types of relationships please seek help!
