Publisher's Synopsis
Once a fun-loving, free-spirited young woman, Sophie Menger has become an echo of her former self. She's trapped in an abusive relationship, and her mind and spirit are so broken she doesn't feel like a person anymore. Sometimes, it seems as if her only purpose is to serve and service her controlling husband. No matter how well Sophie "performs," the abuse continues to escalate. He has threatened to kill her many times over the years, and she's terrified he will actually make good on his threats one day. Just as she sees a glimmer of light at the end of her dark tunnel, things get ugly. Will Sophie make it out alive? Felise Greyson's life is in shambles. Eight weeks after her husband is imprisoned for embezzlement, she's stuck in a dead-end job, struggling to pay her bills, friendless, and alone-and now, the unthinkable, she's pregnant. She never wanted to have children and is panic-stricken by the thought of being a single mother. Feeling utterly helpless, she prays for something-anything-to happen to get her out of this mess. Will Felise be able to embrace motherhood and live up to her beloved late mother's example? A chance encounter may change their lives forever. Trigger warnings: This book depicts emotional/verbal abuse, physical abuse, and threatened sexual abuse. Infertility is also addressed, and strong language is used.
