Synopsis
A WOMAN WHO WANTS TO FIND LOVE ... WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES FOR A HAPPILY-EVER-AFTER ... EVEN TANGLING WITH A PSYCHOPATH ... YET, LOVE HAS THE POWER TO ... CONQUER ALL OBSTACLES. Middle-aged divorcee, Tara Robstead, wants more than a secret love affair with her boss, Josh Henderson. Yet, her search for a happily-ever-after costs her more than a price paid in blood-her soul is slaughtered. Now confined in a mental hospital, she must confront her greatest fears in order to break a psychopath's control over her fractured mind. Against the ticking clock, Josh must face his true love for Tara before it's too late. Together, Tara and Josh can stand united to ... CONQUER ALL OBSTACLES.
Dedicated to ALL who have struggled with mental illness, family and friends who have been affected by this disease, and to those women who are overcoming the trauma of violence. YOU can CONQUER ALL OBSTACLES.

February 08, 2010: I really enjoyed reading this book. I would compare Jo-Anne Vandermeulen's style to perhaps Joy Fielding or Jodi Piccoult. An awesome fast-paced story. Once I picked it up I was totally enthralled with the characters, right to the very end. The scene descriptions were just right, with the appropriate amount of detail to put you there to feel the tension, without overwhelming you with minutiae. I can't wait for a sequel ... or perhaps prequel ... : )

January 22, 2010: A complicated yet cohesive story that takes the reader through such obstacles as mental health, low self esteem, wrong priorities, abuse, and more. These do not overwhelm the reader by all applying to the same person, but the book most certainly shows us the law of six degrees of separation and how it does or can play out in our lives. The need to be in contact with ourselves and those closest to us is a strong theme.
Jo-Anne Vandermeulen has captured life trapped within the minds of mental health and how very hard it is to see the warning signs in many cases. She has delved into the core of situations that can affect us adversely or bring such cases to light. Though a novel, it is so close to truth that it could easily be a collection of biographies. The book is centered around the separate yet somehow closely woven lives of 12 individuals, some with obstacles and some on the outskirts affected by those obstacles of others.The book is very interesting and suspenseful, and representative of many lost souls who are unable to recognize their own needs. It covers a time period of just 7 months, jam-packed with action and reaction. This book is not necessarily morose, it does have its lighter, happier moments. It shows how there can be weakness in the strong and strength in the weak. Powerful and passionate, I think this is a wonderfully written book, it gripped me right away and kept me reading into the night. I am so glad I had an opportunity to read it, and highly recommend it. A must-read.
