Review: Captivating Read
Rating: 4 out of 5

Donna is a beautiful young woman who has had little good come out of being beautiful.  In the first chapter she is raped and the aftermath of that becomes the underpinnings of the story.  With a broken relationship and an abortion behind her, emotionally scarred Donna returns home to her parents whose over-pampering, manipulative care she’d fled years ago.  Now their controlling behavior threatens to drive an already fragile young woman, over the edge.  While there were moments when I found Donna’s behavior difficult, it soon became clear that she was acting out, and that her behavior was a byproduct of the rape. As the story progresses she begins to find peace both in her relationships and in herself as she heals, finds happiness, love and what she thinks is security.  But is it?  Despite the story’s dark beginnings it quickly hooked me and kept me reading.  A thought provoking story that  winds to a dramatic end that doesn’t pull any punches.
