Despite her intrinsic desire and resolve to put her fears behind and leverage on good times ahead, memories become her undoing, as ugly reminders keep coming up. Though vulnerable and afraid, she remains resolute in day-to-day activities. She still fears that someone is coming after her as she tries to maintain control of her life once again.

I have been offered a copy for an honest review. I read Mr. Lasher's other work and I am just as impressed. This time, he decided to write a story about a woman named Kristin Fletch and her struggles. I felt so engrossed into the story which has been a while since I finished a book in a sitting. The story flows nicely and every poem feels like they belong there. I truly felt for Kristin in this book. Her situation being unique, it was nice to cheer on a character with a different background.
I give this book 5/5 because it's something I've never experienced before and it's told respectfully.

A short story -easy to read but very good. A young girl who was kidnapped and held in a basement with other girls for 6 years. Some of them died but "HE" kept her alive. But he still drugged her, beat her and raped her constantly. She went home to live with her parents. Which all seemed strange. She went to therapy. She tells how she feels and what happens in her present life after she finally got to come home. She didnt know who she was anymor. I some how feel this may have been a true story. If not the author did a good job of telling this story. We all can learn to be strong and fight for justice so we can live a normal life even after a horrible experince.

This was an interesting read, particularly for me. Part fiction, part poetry, Jacob Lasher blends the two mediums together to tell a compelling story that is easy to read and flows quickly due to the nature of the prose, which is written in free version.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I was offered a review copy. I'm not much of a poetry reader, but I found that I thoroughly enjoyed the tale and had no trouble deciphering it in the way it was written.
If you're looking for a unique read that will keep you glued to the pages, I'd highly recommend this one to you!
