About this ebook
Valerie, shattered by betrayal and loss, returns to Toronto with Rocco, whose trust in her is fractured. Their relationship, marked by rough sex and escalating violence, leaves Val broken, believing she deserves the pain. They drift from Toronto to Quebec, Detroit, and Brooklyn, pulling cons to survive, until Rocco abandons her with $100,000 and a cold note. Val moves to San Diego, seeking solace in a support group where she meets Gary, a widower offering unconditional care. Despite her infertility and yearning for motherhood, their bond grows, but her past and drinking spiral into violence when she attacks Samantha, landing in prison for five years. In jail, Val endures abuse and emerges hardened. Surprisingly, Gary takes her back, now raising his daughter with Samantha, who died in childbirth. Val, haunted by regrets over a lost life with Steven, lives with Gary, using him while raising another woman’s child, her inner dialogue a constant lament for what might have been.
