My rating is 4 out of 5 stars

J.L. Berg takes you on an emotional journey of strength, perseverance, and courage. You will truly feel for Willow and will watch as she slowly blossoms into the beautiful young lady she was meant to be. 

The relationships as he develops may take a while to develop because of the emotional trauma of her past, they do grow tremendously. I loved watching her turn into a beautiful butterfly and spread her wings.

Head down.

Don’t look up. 

Never make eye contact.
Those were the words I lived by growing up, the words that protected me in an unsafe home. But words are only letters and eventually even they couldn’t keep his hands off me.

Hoping to leave behind the shattered life of my past, I find myself in a boring, small town, with an aunt I’ve never met and at a school I loathe.

But soon I learn, not everything in this world is as black and white as I’ve determined. Sometimes those we are so quick to judge often need a second, third or even fourth time to make a first impression.

And often, there are friendships and even love waiting just around the corner, if we are brave enough to take the first step.

Am I brave? Or will I hide behind these tattered gloves of mine forever?
