But I Love Him
by Amanda Grace, Mandy Hubbard

Release Date:
May 8, 2011

Description:

Tonight was so much worse than anything before it.
Tonight he didn't stop after the first slap.

At the beginning of senior year, Ann was a smiling, straight-A student and track star with friends and a future. Then she met a haunted young man named Connor. Only she can heal his emotional scars; only he could make her feel so loved-and needed. Ann can't recall the pivotal moment it all changed, when she surrendered everything to be with him, but by graduation, her life has become a dangerous high wire act. Just one mistake could trigger Connor's rage, a senseless storm of cruel words and violence damaging everything-and everyone-in its path.

This evocative slideshow of flashbacks reveals a heartbreaking story of love gone terribly wrong.

I sense this to be a dark, heartbreaking book, but I also believe this can help those out there who are in a similar yet different situation. I admire Mandy Hubbard for taking on this concept. I've only read one book by her and I am definitely looking forward for this one.
