Rather than accepting the break-up, he begins to stalk and harass her, forcing Dawn to seek a restraining order. Undeterred, he launches a deeply personal attack—suing for guardianship and conservatorship of Dawn’s infirm mother. In court, he manipulates the truth using evidence that he planted while the couple were still dating. And just when Dawn thinks things can’t get any worse, she is faced with an impossible choice: rekindle the relationship or lose her mother forever. Readers also enjoyed Liz's other books with these themes: Free of Malice (self-protection, racial tension) Plea for Justice (self/body-image, literacy) Shades of Silence (grief, sex trafficking) Complimentary excerpts at: www.lizlazarus.com Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio .
