Publisher's Summary:

How much physical and mental pain can a 16-year-old girl stand? Jeanette Connor is about to find out. It's Chicago, 1955, and she is on the brink of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: a contract with the New York City Ballet. However, since shes a minor, her mother must co-sign, and she has different ideas. Jeanette's dream is smashed and instead she soon finds herself in a high-class brothel, being offered up as a little-girl-virgin type. Then a client beats her to within an inch of her life, and she's left for dead in the snowy night. She vows revenge, but first has to put her broken body and shattered emotions back together. That's easier said than done, though. Her struggle to regain her life carries her to California, the land of dreams, which for Jeanette Connor will become the land of nightmares.

intense emotional rollercoaster

WOW! Great book! Very intense and emotional...I actually had to put the book down a couple times through the beginning to catch my breath and gather myself back together. But once I started again I couldn't stop because I had to know how things were going to turn out for Jen, the main character! It's very hard for me to stop and take even this brief moment to write this since I am dying to get into the second book! The descriptions of what happened to Jen and the fear and pain she endured are vivid so brace yourself ... but all good writing should make us feel something right ... even if it's scary! Mrs. Adams did a great job of describing how trauma can run your life, how hard it is to get out from under it and that it may never fully go away, but that if you keep good, loving people around you and work really hard you can get through it and be happy once again! Now I must go so I can get into the next book...if you're reading this before purchase...save yourself a little bit of grief and get the 2nd book now also! That way you won't have to wait to dive right in and believe me you'll want to!!

Buckel Up! Hang on for one screaming hair raising ride.
