Someone has found out about her mysterious past. Will Loveday survive her own heartbreaking secrets?

I enjoyed the descriptive writing style, I felt myself in the poetry reading scene and could easily imagine all the players. There was so much to love in just the visual writing and the interesting story of people, the local area, poetry, books, And interesting titbits like 5 million copy’s of the Da Vinci code published in 2003! The real story is of a child ripped from her life her happy personality. Her loss of her mother and father, school and friends appears to be an after thought. I loved how this tragic story was delivered.
