'A pacy well developed plot ... I was hooked.' Reviewer, librarian

A charismatic but controlling father. A sadistic brother. Home for Hannah is like living inside a pressure cooker. Even her bond with loyal sister Sal and privileged friend Diana isn't enough to make her stay.

But where will she go? And will she ever find the haven she so craves?

When at last Hannah meets the avuncular, alluring Charlie and his sophisticated sidekick Carla, she feels she has finally found her brave new world. But once again all may not be as it appears, and Hannah soon learns that people will not always play fair and will do what it takes to get what they want.

From the author of LOSS and award-winning publisher Nevada Street Press comes this emotive, character focused coming-of-age drama that explores the depths of human trauma and the power of resilience, through one girl's struggle to overcome her troubled past and to carve a brighter future for herself.
