Publisher's Synopsis
Orphaned Eden Case is in her first year of university juggling a full course load, and the challenge of coming out of her shell. As if living life on her own for the first time isn't enough stress, she is forced to deal with the torture and abuse she experienced at the hands of her father during her childhood and the tragic loss of her mother. Eden, sheltered by her own fears and traumatic childhood, finally begins to experience life, as she grows closer to her handsome Australian classmate, Theo, and her Southern Belle roommate, Brayden. Eden begins to learn that opening up about her childhood can relieve the load that she carries every day, and even help her to heal the scars left behind from the loss of her parents. But when Eden's father shows up after abandoning her and her brother Dean 7 years ago, he brings even more turmoil and a big secret that could wipe away all of Eden's growth and healing. In this coming of age story, Eden learns not only how to love others, but how to truly love herself, scars and all.
