As the first daughter of a submissive mother and a charismatic, handsome father known as an imbiber and womanizer, Ann grew up in a turbulent environment.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs time went on, her home life unraveled when her father could no longer keep a job and her mother was forced to work outside the home. That left her father at home to keep an eye on Ann and her younger sister. This is when the abuse began and, although her mother was aware, she chose to turn a blind eye and, instead, blamed Ann. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnn suffered in silence until one cold November night, when her father was involved in an accident and was no longer a threat. Her mother took her two young girls to Arizona to begin a new life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNothing Ann experienced crossing the desert divulged what life held in store for her in Phoenix. Having been raised by an abusive father and a cold, uninvolved mother, would Ann be able to escape her past? Would she find happiness and someone to love? Or, would her choices create an extension of her past…or worse?","brand":"Dorrance Publishing Co.
