This is my first story by Shaan Ranae and I know it won't be the last. Shaan is happily married with two children. She was raised in Ohio and she brings a little part of that into each story. After reading a popular romance series, she found herself addicted to romance. Her love for writing has grown and so has her writing style. She has created an page turner that will pull you in from page one. This story does contain abusive situations, which hits home for me and maybe for you too. This story will leave you feeling and hoping for all for Kathryn. You will totally lose track of time reading this story and find yourself reading it in one sitting. I highly suggest this story as I know you will want to see what happens when it is just time to start a new life.
