YA
Seventeen-year-old abuse survivor Charlotte (formerly Piper) is starting over in a new city with a new name, but the spectre of brutality follows her as she sets out to save another potential victim--and find love in the process. Melodramatic prose and situations, combined with at times seemingly gratuitous scenes of torture and violence, mar this fast-paced and well-meaning thriller.
