He heard her clothes being dropped on the floor, so now he looked at her and helped her get under the blanket. "Claire, really, they're not," he tried to search her eyes, empty and so so sad. He tried to say, slowly, softly, "they're a part of you. And you're beautiful."

She took the first chance she got to get out of that place, away from New York, away from her father, from a life of terror and fear.
Life brought her to Silverport, a small run-of-the-mill town off the coast of Connecticut. Set in the 1990s, a story of love, survival, and how to survive intimacy, when you've spent your whole life running away from it.

Porcelain Skin (NOW ON AMAZON KU)
"When I tell you that he hates me, you'll probably assume it's because he's a jerk...but you'd be wrong. He's not a jerk. I am." --- Several years ago tragedy struck Emma's home, leaving her broken... like a cup with cracks spiraling and slithering around the edges. Slowly, bitterness crept in like tar, hardening between each fracture to resemble a deceitful wholeness. She became a monster, and targeted her venom on the sweetest person she could find: Trinity Nixon. Too bad the boy Emma longed for was Trinity's brother. Now, as Emma fights to win the heart of the boy who despises her, she's forced to hide her demons. She paints her fragile cup in pinks, yellows, and oranges - all the colors of the sun. She paints on a smile, and an unusual sense of humor, so that the world will view her as bright and cheerful, when in reality she's breaking. But she's completely unprepared for the acidic truth that melts away the tar, demolishing her shell, and awakening the Emma White buried deep inside. --- Book 1 in The Dismantled Pride series *Story was previously titled "Faking It"Complete
