The plot line is very interesting... there are secrets and surprises to keep us involved. The love affair(s) give us a glimpse into what Averyana is feeling as she attempts to put her life back together after the loss of her parents under unusual circumstances. The writing style is beautiful and sensitive.

We get to experience Averyana from her perspective and through her twenty-three year old eyes. There is an innocence that guides her through all these new experiences. Her intelligence shines as she discovers how to accept her mistakes, learn from them, and still present herself as a professional woman. Her innate sense of what is right guides her. Her memories haunt her. Together, they steer her through the life she inherited as her birthright - with a few unforeseen obstacles.

This was a tragic story about a girl named Averyana Chambers who loses her parents and in a way loses herself as well. She struggles to cope with loss and in a sense only prolongs her pain. Averyana tries her best to keep people at arms length, but as life moves on so does she when she graduates from college and has to face life head on. She finds a tainted love when she didn't even want it, only to find that it was completely warped. She starts to fall apart again only to find herself being held together by the one person she least expected. I cannot wait to read book two and see where life takes Averyana next.
