Description
But for the Kindness of Strangers finds Janet Hardee full of determination and confidence as she puts the miles between her and what has been her only home for all her eighteen years. High school is behind her and college will be the next stepping stone on the road…she is sure…that will lead her to success. Unfortunately, even well-travelled roads can lead to danger, and Janet has to learn this lesson the hard way. She finds that people are not always what they appear to be, and that roads, once taken, cannot always be retraced. Forced into a living hell, she has to rely on her own strength and determination to get her through, one dreadful day at a time. In contrast, Daddy's Little Girl introduces the reader to Teresa Bennett…who is thirteen and in love. The man of her dreams is thirty-three, married…and her father. This doesn't stop "Tess," who is out to win him over no matter what the cost. When her father dies in a canoeing accident she is unable to cope with the loss and becomes bitter and and self-indulgent; striking out at those who could have helped her the most. Life is not without consequences and Teresa discovers that her life is no exception, as it begins to crumble around her like a deck of cards.
