Frannie, Frannie, Fran.....Bobby always said her name that way.

Fran Benedetto had loved Bobby. Bobby the cop. Bobby, her sons dad. Bobby...sexy, handsome, strong Bobby.

Fran Benedetto had once loved him so much.

But Fran was a battered wife. Bobby was an abusive husband. And Fran had finally had enough.

Secretly uprooting their son Robert, changing their names, moving to another state seems to be the only thing Fran can do to free herself from the confines of Bobby.

Frannie becomes Beth Crenshaw with a new name, a new home, a new job, even a new birthday. She manages to have Robert keep his first name, but he too got to keep the secret of where he really came from and who he really was.

As readers we get a pretty in dept view of what it is like to live the life of a battered woman. How she was happy, scared, hurt, and sometimes still in love at the same times. How emotions ran high and hurts ran deep.

I really enjoyed this book, the writing was fantastic and the story line was something that kept me interested from page one to the end.

Definitely recommend.
