How do you find love when all you've known as a child is violence and abuse?

How do you find your way back from the clutches of a terrible drug addiction and stop yourself sinking deeper and deeper into a dark and debilitating depression? How do you carry on when you finally open your heart and then lose the one you love in the most tragic of circumstances?



Rachel's story is a tale of triumph over adversity. Set in a tropical island paradise in the West Indies, Rachel's journey takes her away to boarding school in England and on to the Middle East for the school holidays, where she first sets eyes on Frank.



Remarkably, Rachel not only finds a way to make peace with the terrible traumas of her past, but she manages to turn her life around completely and along the way, she finds love...a love she once believed was lost to her forever.
