Sounds like an interesting book, particularly because my grandmother was a battered wife and my mother and her siblings were emotionally abused by this man. Back in that day, there were no women's shelters to escape to. Just as you do with Annie, I think my grandmother was a hero in her own way.
Hi. Thank goodness there's no mention of vampires or special powers in your books! I plan to check out "Crush On You" when it hits the stores. Congrats on your latest title.
