Synopsis:
Clara Pendleton is a prisoner in her home. Always searching for new places to hide from her uncle, whose drunken attention terrifies and confuses her, she finds a tiny clearing in the back of the property near a disintegrating section of the ivy-covered wall that surrounds the estate.
Gaven Bridge has been sent to Clearwater to live with his Uncle Daniel. Never fitting in, he doesn’t believe he’ll ever meet anyone who understands him. But when he goes out for a walk in the woods, he happens upon a young lady sleeping soundly on a patch of moss.
A deep bond is fostered between them, helping Clara find the courage to change her life. When she finally decides to climb over the ivy wall and out into the world, there is no going back. Will Clara escape her horrible past, or will it destroy the love she and Gaven share?

My Thoughts:
Clara Pendleton
loves to hide but is it a game or something else? She gives the reader a glimpse into her
world. She also shares a common bond
with her cousin Tammy. Gaven Bridge has
gone exploring and gets a surprise. He’s
someone who’s very special.
This is a story
that starts out being a little hard to read but once the reader is introduced
to Gaven it’s a storyline that will hold your attention. The author discloses something about Gaven
that not in a million years would I have ever guessed – and I applaud her for
it. This is what sucked me into the
story even more then just seeing what Clara has gone through.
Our author has also
created a story that will have the reader getting angry – angry at the
circumstances. It will also have you
wishing you could do something; anything but you end up just feeling
helpless. Clara’s story gives the reader
some insight into what some go through when having to deal with abuse.
It turns into an
addictive story not because of the subject matter but because you want to know
that there’s a happy ending for our young couple. Plus you want to know that the bad guy gets
his just desserts. The author does end
this tale on a happy note but you’re still left wondering if everything will be
all right for all concerned.
I surprised myself
as to how much I actually enjoyed this story.
It was not what I expected and was a lot more. One way the author surprised me was in making
her hero, and yes he is a hero, not your typical buff, hunky, and MacGyverish
man. Would I recommend that you read
this book? Yes, most definitely. It’s not my usual read but I would definitely
read more of this author’s work.
