By the end of Chapter 2 I was ready to slap some freaking good sense in Gabriella's father John Harrison and force him to not remain complicit as he witnessed the devastating and deadly child abuse his wife inflicted mercilessly onto his daughter. Eloise Harrison's outright cruelty left numerous bruises on Gabriella's fragile little body and her severe beatings broke some of Gabby's ribs which Eloise could give a flying flip about. This book had me in tears from the first chapter straight to the last and final one. Tears of sadness and anger at first but then tears of joy as young Gabriella finally began to find her happiness and let go of all the pain, anger and self blame that she struggled with for years. It's a story of hope, love and faith and one that will truly stay with me for a long long time. My emotional stability was put to test with this book.
Aguero is forced to make a choice that scars his platoon for the rest of their lives. Lt Shane Aguero and his platoon take refuge in a house and set up defensive positions, while at Camp War Eagle, Volesky and Denomy launch a rescue mission to retake the city and free their men. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. It took me longer to read it than my usual time, but it was well worth it.

At Fort Hood, the families are engaged in their own challenges as more news trickles in from Sadr City. Tomas Young learns about the realities of war when Miltenberger’s troop comes under fire. Casualties mount in the rear of the LMTV, as Denomy tries yet again to rescue the stranded platoon. For Young, this moment marks the beginning of a lifelong struggle, with far-reaching consequences, through which he’ll touch countless lives.
Gabriella is labelled 'strong' in this book because she overcame all the obstacles but I personally feel that it made her character weak & pathetic when she allowed people to kick her around. And then it ends with a happily ever after with Prince Charming. I've never read anything else by Danielle Steele, might have seen a movie or two, but she comes out with the big guns. Maybe I'll sit down one afternoon with another book, when I want to run the emotional gamut.

The rescuers finally punch through to the stranded platoon, but the battle hasn't finished taking its toll, both in Sadr City and at Fort Hood. Although hard to read at times, it's still a solid and deep story of one girl going through some of the worst-case moments in life, but having to come out in the end, face her past and becomes a strong young lady. I gave this book four stars because it has so much detail and brought the character so far, but it was the most agonizing heartbreaking story I’ve ever read.
This incredible book brought me to tears, and was one I promptly suggested for my sister. If anyone has suffered at the hand of an abusive parent, you'll immediately connect with this book. It tore my heart out, and gradually rebuilt it piece by piece as she told the story. I liked her writing style in this book but the characters weren't exactly well developed. I'm a Danielle Steel snob in that I read her a long time ago and grew out of her books. She went on to become a Postulant and didn't want to leave the convent.
