A Lesson in Beginning - Elle Sparrow (Signed)

A Journey From Darkness to Desire

They took everything.
My husband. My dreams. My innocence.
After escaping a sinister cult's grip, I faced a stark new reality.
I was left with only one thing.
My treasure. My son.
Desperate, I sought refuge with my estranged family.
It was a struggle, but I was beginning to find my footing in this strange, modern world.
Enter Joel Whitlock.
All my life I’d been controlled by evil men, but Joel was different.
His kindness replaced cruelty.
He calls me his good girl.
His control sparks a fiery passion in me unlike anything I’ve believed possible.
How can I surrender to this stranger when everything I’ve been taught tells me it's wrong?
But if it’s wrong – why does it feel so right?
Can I truly have it all?
One question still plagues me as I journey through passion and self-discovery.
Can I find the strength to stand, and be the mother my son deserves?
Or will I succumb to the way I’ve been raised my entire life?
