Review:
This story is a two part series. You must read Disconnected in order to fully understand the hole story. Katie started her life over at 18. She has been married to her husband Chris for 6 years but, due to a horribly tragedy in her past she shows no emotion and as never shed a tear in front of her husband nor has she ever said I Love You! Katie's husband doesn't know about her past and does everything he can to help her. Katie's mom has not been apart of her life for six years either and is desperate to be a part of her daughters life and it understand why she has been missing all these years!
Katie won't speak about any of it. Not with anyone. Katie is emotionally traumatized by her past and now new events in her future cause her past to be brought to the present! This story has every thought and emotion you could possibly dream of. No one should ever suffer this much pain and trauma and be able to survive. Is love enough? Will the trauma of the past heal her future? 
Thank you for this great review and for having me on your blog :)
