So many things in this book. A single Mom raising her daughter with a Social Anxiety that triggers panic attacks. Fears, rape, death and love. A Mother's love to the very end. I've had to struggle to read this book through an eye that had surgery. We all struggle through things. Zoe never knew her father which was for the best. He finds her and tries to get her. But his wife is her Mom's advisor through Cancer and because of his abuse, she stopes him. Once you get to a certain point you won't be able to lay the book down.
