Story Behind The Book
Having been in an abusive relationship myself, I am fascinated with the whole issue of abuse and how it affects people differently. While chatting to someone at Hubpages.com where I also write articles, they shared a little bit about their history. I found what they said fascinating and used that for my basic plot which I developed and elaborated on so that I created a whole new story. i started off one way and then went off on a completely different tangent. I can do that because I'm a woman and a Gemini and that's the sorts of things we do.
