More DescriptionFollowing a difficult childhood, Kim has built a successful life for herself. But the guilt she harbors over a tragic mistake she made years ago colors all of her success. When she meets Rick, she thinks she has found everything she needs in her life - including a way to pay for her sins every time he hits her.A new neighbor, Joshua, knows more about Rick than Kim realizes, but he has demons of his own to battle. And Debbie, a new friend who has saved countless women from abuse through the shelter she runs, may be just as desperate for love as the women she serves. Since Kim doesn't think she deserves to be happy, she accepts the abuse heaped on her by her husband. But when Rick's wrath extends to their baby, Kim must decide if her penance is more important than protecting her child - and if she dares to leave him, when he has the power to bring her long-hidden crime to light.
