O knihe

In 1929 in the midst of the Great
Depression, Kira is born into a dysfunctional family devoid
of love. As her insecurities increase, she develops into a
young woman and begins seeking strangers to fill the barren
void inside her soul. Little does she know that behind her
actions lurks danger.
When she meets Frank, a
suave man with a devil-may-care attitude in a local
restaurant, fourteen-year-old Kira unknowingly becomes his
prey. As Frank impresses her with stories of his adventurous
past, Kira is mesmerized with his sophistication and does
not reveal her true age. On their first date, Frank plies
Kira with three cocktails that eliminate her ability to make
sound decisions. When Frank rapes her in his hotel room,
Kira is devastated and blames her own naivety for allowing
him to manipulate her. Still disillusioned by her previous
behavior, Kira is introduced to Henrik, an older man who
treats her with respect and propriety. Even when their
platonic relationship is abruptly ended, Kira never forgets
him.
Months later, he unexpectedly resurfaces just
as another traumatic crisis overtakes Kira's life. Only time
will tell if destiny will finally intervene and bring
clarity and reasoning to Kira's future.
