About this ebook

After a lifetime of pain and torture at the hands of sadistic adoptive parents, thirteen-year-old Shawna finds peace knowing her final sacrifice will save her brothers. Now it’s up to social worker, Amber Walker, to guide these two boys back down their broken road and onto a new path of hope and healing. Struggling with bureaucratic red tape and politics while trying to balance her desire to help others with the needs of her own family, Amber longs to learn more about her own abusive past. A stalker who is hell-bent on revenge turns this young social worker’s already-frightening job of trying to protect the innocent into a horrific nightmare.

Aimee McPartlan

Aimee McPartlan has a B.S. Degree in criminal justice and began working for the Florida Department of Children and Families in 2002 as a Dependency Case Manager. She remained in the field of child welfare for nearly a decade, when she and her husband, a program administrator for the Florida Department of Children and Families, gave birth to twin girls. Now with five children and working from home, Aimee would like to give a voice to the untold story of child abuse and those who dedicate their lives to working with abused children and their families. Aimee writes from a place of familiarity as she herself was fostered and adopted as a child and grew up to pursue a career helping families in similar circumstances. Her novel, while fiction, is based on her own family history and inspired by her experiences as a case manager. She and her husband have twenty years of combined experience in child welfare and live with their children in the quaint riverside town of Sebastian, Florida.
