About this ebook
Twenty-three-year-old Jessica Anne Khalid, alone and penniless, thinks she has reached rock bottom. But within forty-eight hours things will go from bad to worse. In the face of extreme adversity, she summons up the courage to take back control. Abandoning what little she has left, including her identity, she sets out to seek a better life.
Elsewhere, lonely widower and retired army officer Peter Jeffries, stricken by grief and racked with guilt, contemplates his limited future alone. When their paths cross, she discovers a kindred spirit, he sees his last chance to make amends, and together they learn the true meaning of unconditional love.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The book isn't printed properly in scribd. There are multiple errors which make it difficult to read on here. I haven't finished the book yet, but it's better than the other books available when everything suddenly goes to 'coming soon ' by mid month.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The story really meanders (much like Jess wandering) and takes a long time to get anywhere. Jess's situation is not unique though, trauma and systemic abuse often leave victims believing they are complicit and somehow to blame for what happens to them. The author got that spot on. However the book leaves many questions. How does Peter solve everything (money does solve every problem?)
The catharsis between Peter and Jess happens in the space of a single conversation which feels somehow rushed so there are holes which could have been filled except that there was so much wandering around.
Another reader complained of loads of typos- these are a bit annoying too.
All in all an ok book. Hopefully the sequel is better. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Would have been much easier reading if download had been grammatically correct.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very tense from the start, how far down does a person have to go before finding a life saver. We’ll written and couldn’t wait to read the sequel.
