If you can bear your heart being ripped out of your chest and twisted until it can take no more, then this is the book for you, as tragic events from the past reach tendril-like to the present. A sobering study on how every action has a consequence.

Beautifully crafted characters rise painfully from the pages and will linger with you long after you finish reading. With a chaotic home life, and a troubled, emotionally fragile mother, tough, protective Duchess has to be sister and mother-figure to little brother Robin. In spite of her abrasive, explosive traits you will admire her, and care deeply for her. And Walk, the small town cop with one foot planted firmly in the past, trying to keep Cape Haven as it always was while battling his own demons.

One of the most emotionally intense books I've read.
