She thought he was perfect - but she married a monster...
What if your husband wanted you dead...
Joanna has spent ten years married to a monster. Everyone thinks she has the perfect life, but behind closed doors she lives in constant fear of her husband. Escape seems impossible - and then a stranger offers her a chance to flee. On the run with her young daughter, Joanna finds herself in the mysterious town of Morro. With no memory of how she got there. And no idea of what the town truly is. Joanna faces a rare and terrible choice - stay safe, or return to face the fight of her life, to save herself and her little girl.“Here is a story of a woman's courage and strength, the power of friendship, and the gift of grace which magically appears when we need it most. Truly inspired and beautifully written, you will love this novel.”
