Day after day, year after year.Shannon Taylor knows all about hurt and betrayal. It’s something she never talks about. Not even her best friend knows.High school is a very unkind place. Hell the whole childhood thing is Hell. Aren’t fathers supposed to love their children not hurt them?Jareth Stein knows the secret of life. Leave them before they leave you.That was the lesson his mother taught him all those years ago when she left him in the hands of his abusive father for another man. Never to be seen again.In addition to the issues Jareth and Shannon face already; Jareth’s mom comes back with a message:If you don’t give me what I want I will destroy you and everyone you love; starting with Shannon.
