    About this audiobook

    Head down. Don't look up. Never make eye contact.

    Those were the words I lived by growing up, the words that protected me in an unsafe home. But words are only letters, and eventually even they couldn't keep his hands off me.

    Hoping to leave behind the shattered life of my past, I find myself in a boring, small town, with an aunt I've never met, and at a school I loathe.

    But soon I learn that not everything in this world is as black and white as I've determined. Sometimes those we are so quick to judge often need a second, third, or even fourth time to make a first impression.

    And often, there are friendships and even love waiting just around the corner, if we are brave enough to take the first step.

    Am I brave?

    Or will I hide behind these tattered gloves of mine forever?

      Willow has a chance to start over after a childhood full of neglect and abuse – but will her past prevent her from accepting the love she deserves?

      Willow is sent to live with her aunt after she has spent most of her life exposed to her mother’s lifestyle of prostitution, but she can’t forget the one night her mother’s job stole her innocence. She is overwhelmed by a new high school, an afterschool job at a local book store, and classmates who tease her, as well as a few who want to get to know her better and become friends. She can’t give her trust freely, but if she is going to be able to move on and make a life beyond what the past has taken from her, she has to find a way to open her heart to the possibility that there is goodness in others.

      Willow’s certainty that she is damaged goods, unworthy of a life full of friends, support, and happiness, is something too many young readers might relate to. This isn’t just an entertaining read, but one that will offer hope to anyone suffering the lasting effects of an abusive relationship or event.
