Her home life is no better, as she constantly battles with her exacting and bullying father in order to protect her mother and five younger siblings from his abuse. Her only solace is her loving relationship with the chaotic Parker family and her best friend, Gert Parker. When matters violently escalate for Hillie, smitten Jack-the-Lad Jimmy Baxter seems her only salvation. But could this be the biggest mistake of her life, and should she be looking for protection nearer home? A story that crackles with unease where courage and friendship are the only hope. \u003cb\u003eWhat readers are saying: \u003c\/b\u003e''This is a great saga that packs \u003cb\u003eso much emotion and passion\u003c\/b\u003e into it that you are swe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn excellent story -- Diane Edbauer, NetGalley\u003cbr\u003eGreat characters and I loved the setting! -- Donna Maguire, NetGalley\u003cbr\u003eA fast read, really well written storyline with characters you get invested in -- Holly Senecal, NetGalley\u003cbr\u003eA great saga that packs so much emotion and passion into it that you are swept away, wishing a better life for Hillie as her character gets under your skin * Dash Fan Book Reviews *\u003cbr\u003eA very quick and easy read, perfect for a cold cozy weekend snuggled on the couch with a fire and a hot cup of whatever you prefer in your hand.
