I've had this on my Kindle for years--6 or 7--so I thought it was about time I read it and all of the others from my earliest bought to my newest.

I liked this for the fact that the abuse wasn't sexual like a lot of books are nowadays. It was hard to read at times the physical abuse Emma went through and I liked Evan and how persistent he was with getting to know her.

I didn't give it more stars because they could have avoided a lot of the pain and heartache if they'd only told the truth. About everything. And to anyone who'd listen.

I'm not sure I'll be finishing the series.

Movie Favorite

"Agoraphobia, colonialism, trespass and gravity of sacred spaces, and a haunting portrayal of institutionalized abuse. I truly love how this film has become such a potent part of the fashion canon, via those pretty white dresses in afternoon sunlight. That golden light! And the subterranean hum in the sound design is perfect."

In this exciting domestic thriller by Ruth Harrow, Harriet tells the story of her abuse and her efforts to go into hiding from her husband Dan.
Having fled from London, she sets up shop in Coventry, rebuilding her life, working and cautiously making new friends again. From the outside all looks well. However, the reader is led into a false sense of security and slowly we watch Harriet’s paranoia get the better of her, and cannot help but wonder if she is just worried because her past, or if there is something deeper going on.
In Her Footsteps was an entertaining debut book, broaching difficult topics surrounding physical abuse and the emotional distress it causes. I’ll be looking out for more from this author in the future.
