About
Did you walk past and not see me? Or did you laugh at the dirty little girl whose stomach growled as you turned your back? Did you ever try to know me or just hope I would go away?
Fifteen years old and cast aside by drug-addicted parents, Jillian Bauer's existence was marked by a profound sense of abandonment and a lack of love. Wrestling with mice and cockroaches for scraps of food, she battles for survival against insurmountable odds in a world of everyday struggles. But first she must overcome the stench of decay and desperation hanging heavily in the air.
After Jillian's sister takes custody, Jillian works toward her goals. Her gift for languages, a talent she honed through years of study and immersion, illuminates Jillian's ambition to become a translator/interpreter in a dynamic world capital. When her sister takes her to Great Britain, everything changes.
A chance encounter with Graham Spencer, a charming musician, opens Jillian's eyes to London's vibrant life and her own sensuality. As passion soars, secrets surface. Graham was a pants-on-fire tabloid sensation with a tangled and extensive love life. Will his past shatter her dreams? Did she matter to him at all, or was she just one more notch on his bedpost? Join Jillian on a journey of survival, growth, and self-discovery.
