BOOK BLURB:
Six years ago, Lena Schuler fled Cheyenne to escape the man
who brutally stole her innocence. Now, believing her attacker has left Cheyenne
for good, she's returned to build a life for her and her son.
Attorney Lucas Kline has established a new identity and is
making his mark as a trial lawyer in the burgeoning rail town of Cheyenne,
Wyoming. Fighting to escape the guilt from his past, he's determined to help
shape the emerging territory into a law-abiding state.
When Lena's attacker threatens the security of her son and
others in the community, will she find the courage to face him in order protect
those she loves? Can she trust Lucas to defend her secret before a township
filled with doubt? Or will the guilt from Lucas' past blur the lines between
justice and vigilantism?
JOANN'S REVIEW:
A beautiful story about a young woman, 16 year old Lena
Schuler. She left her home and family to cover her shame of rape and subsequent
pregnancy. She planned to give her baby up for adoption but changed her mind.
After six years she returns to her former home of Cheyenne
and to her family. She is dumbfounded to see her rapist has also returned to
her town. She meets a young lawyer Lucas Kline who also has many things from
his past he is hiding from as well.
This is a love story but in essence it is human triumph over
adversity. The aftermath of rape is and was a stigma for the victim which is
still unconscionable. Lucas brings the rapist to justice as a result of Lena's
testimony.
I like the style of this author very much and I would highly
recommend this book for all ages.
