This was a well-written story of healing with the help of a loving partner. Having been a victim of sexual abuse myself, I found it incredibly easy to relate to Serena. The author did a nice job of showing what it feels like to live with the emotional aftermath of physical assault. Will reminded me a lot of my husband; infinitely patient and deeply concerned and compassionate. A very good read.*Trigger warning* to anyone with a past that includes sexual assault though. The author doesn't hold back in describing the event itself and she doesn't shy away from the painful effects on the psyche either; personally, I applaud her for that. But if you are not well on your way to already healed from your own past, this story will be extremely painful to read. You'll know from the very first sentence of the story whether you'll be able to read it safely or not.To the author: thank you for writing this story. Knowing many others will read this helps me... I think in a way, it feels as though the readers are also bearing witness to my own past abuse, and to the abuse done to too many other women, which helps me (and hopefully others) to not feel so alone.
