Description by Author:
In hindsight, stabbing the only person in the
world who could give him answers probably wasn’t Danny’s smartest move. When
the haze clears and he can finally see sense again, his world has crumbled, and
he is overcome with self-disgust at finally crossing that line and becoming a
murderer. But his shame soon turns to fear when he learns he didn’t stab her as
well as he thought.
Danny can’t believe his luck when Edel
doesn’t act out in revenge. She wants what she’s always wanted: To be left
ALONE. Just when it seems Danny’s hopes of ever finding the answers to his
questions are disintegrating, an unlikely ally helps him to forge the
friendship he has spent a lifetime craving.
With Danny and Jay’s help, Edel is learning
to accept this new life of freedom and choices, and is slowly evolving from
terrified and traumatised, to someone who resembles a normal, happy human. But
her happiness is shadowed by a dark secret that threatens her life, and it
seems Edel isn’t the only one hiding something.
Soon, Danny and Edel will both learn that
mixing secrets with friendship can have devastating consequences.
