Description: Coming Unglued is Kelly's story, a woman who had it all but lost everything she valued in the space of a few moments, even her virginity which was taken by force, resulting in a pregnancy. Advance the calendar a few years and the most unexpected of encounters happened: Kelly came face-to-face with an apologetic rapist who turned out not to be the monster she presumed him to be.

A title I will not forget any time soon, in Shades of Gray, Holloman points us toward a controversial subject (of sorts) as to how far we would go as a parent to protect our child - how much we are willing to give and sacrifice for their good.

“Demonstrate love in everything you do; as you grow old, the love you've shown to others will be directed towards you.”
Norma Budden

“Demonstrate love in everything you do; as you grow old, the love you've shown to others will be directed towards you.”
Norma Budden

“I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.”
Nora Roberts

“Men go to far greater lengths to avoid what they fear than to obtain what they desire.”
Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code

“Don't ever discount the wonder of your tears. They can be healing waters and a stream of joy. Sometimes they are the best words the heart can speak.”
Wm. Paul Young, The Shack: Where Tragedy Confronts Eternity
