Wow! Another fantastic page-turner from Leta McCurry.

This book is an adrenaline rush, with one crisis after another. Run, Laney. Run and hide, and just when you think you're safe, it will start all over again. I read it in one night, didn't want to put it down. McCurry writes strong, determined women who overcome circumstances to rise to the top, while hiding their vulnerability from the world.
Another 5-star winner.

Leta McCurry is my favorite new author! I absolutely loved her first novel, “High Cotton Country” and she didn’t lose any momentum in this new one.
She sure knows how to pull the emotions out of her readers. I have cried more than once, felt heartbroken, heartsick, worried and fretted over Mattie and Laniey’s plight; anger and sick to my stomach regarding Harley’s treatment of them; gratitude, and yes, love for Mavis for helping them; sexual tension and already remorse for where Ruby Jo’s heading….and that is only the beginning. It only gets better from there!
For the first time ever, I found myself “talking” to her characters as if I was actually there. That is how real her characters feel.

Story lines intersect in unexpected ways reminding us of the proverbial adage 6 degrees of separation. The characters, nice or naughty, are rich with depth. To those familiar with the geographical territory one can find themselves carried directly into the scene. For unfamiliar's, you will see it in your mind’s eye with the vibrant, descript scenes as they play out. A great read and looking forward to the next!
