Reaching you

I'm going to try to summarize my plans for this book as much as possible without giving anything away. This is my first book, so I'd appreciate if anyone commenting negatively would use constructive criticism, thanks. This story is a work in process. It's about a teenager, I never really address her age, that grows up in an abusive home where her father tends to lose his temper and hit her and her mother, but one night he takes it too far and sexually assaults Cassie (the girl) and she breaks to the point of running away to her middle school friend, Liam, who's waiting for her in Indiana. There's a catch, though. In order to pursue Liam's dream, she allows him after two years of her not reaching him to leave to Florida, so Cassie's journey will be difficult.
Hope you like it!
