This book is a must-read. Never before has anyone been able to capture and express the life and emotions of such an unfortunate and tormented soul as powerfully as Carmine DeStefano has. He wraps you up in this story of betrayal, abuse, and deception to feel the pain of his lead character, Daria, as she is forced into an extreme plea to put an end to her anguish, and begin her survival. It is magnificently written. Once you pick it up you won't be able to put it down! ( )
