More Than Words Keren Hughes

EvieTaking my daughter with me, I moved far away from my home town. I wanted to leave my past behind. I was not looking for a relationship. Love had got me nowhere, just pain and darkness, heartbreak and disappointment. Suddenly a shard of light brightened my world. Trey showed me compassion, love, and had broken down the walls I had tried so hard to build. My worry is, will the darkness I have been trying to hide from come back to haunt us? TreyAbused, neglected, broken and rejected; this was my life in foster care with my younger sister, Leah. I had been trying to protect her all my teenage years, but she took her own life. I was devastated by the loss and determined to make something of myself. After school, I studied law, and as a solicitor I helped survivors of domestic abuse. I never thought I'd find love and then I met Evie. Her strength amazed me; she juggled her life as a single mum and a business owner. We were drawn together, but Evie had her secrets and I had mine. Together we are strong. But are we strong enough?
