@maggiemae She is awesome - but you'll need to search for Ilsa Evans, not Lisa. Just a warning - some of her books are lighter, with normal family problems (the laundry series) but she also researches domestic violence and I'm yet to finish the second book in the "Broken" series as it is so sad.
@corymbia Oh excellent, must go look it out then! :) I belong to a book club where we take turns to choose a book we've all never read.. nerve-wracking in the extreme and the results are varied to say the least! The choice given this month looks dodgy... I've read two of them already but might keep quiet about it...!
