She is a motivational speaker who loves to share "the tools" that helped her overcome an abusive past.
Excellent read. I love mysteries, suspense & thrillers. Ms. Bach didn't disappoint me! The storyline is precise. The characters are perfect. And I was surprised toward the end to where the story led me because I was totally stumped!
Simon is a foster child. He rarely talks. And that is unusual for a 6-year old. Yet Elise is not only able to get Simon to open up, but finds he's very unique. And determined!
I don't want to spoil the storyline by telling you what happens, but if like suspense and thrillers, you will love this book!
