Description by Author:
Hannah meets Philip Turner when she is only
fourteen. He is twenty-one. Philip is very much attracted to the young girl
with the blonde hair and shapely figure, and Hannah quickly becomes infatuated
with him.
Hannah believes Philip is in love with her,
and so, when he promises to look after her, and give her the future she
deserves, she has no reason not to believe him.
They marry when Hannah is sixteen and
pregnant with their first child.
Hannah soon realises that Philip has deceived
her, and that he is not the man she believed him to be. She finds herself
trapped inside a marriage, where she is regularly beaten and abused.
Seven and a half years later, Hannah realises
things will never get any better, and that she needs to escape, in an attempt
to save herself, her children, and her sanity.
But there is the real danger that, if she
leaves, Philip might carry out his threat: to hunt her down and kill her, if
she were to ever leave him.
