Synopsis

From the best-selling author of Crossing Oceans comes a heartrending yet uplifting story of friendship and redemption. On the cusp of adulthood, eighteen-year-old Penny Carson is swept off her feet by a handsome farmhand with a confident swagger. Though Trent Taylor seems like Prince Charming and offers an escape from her one-stop-sign town, Penny's happily-ever-after lasts no longer than their breakneck courtship. Before the ink even dries on their marriage certificate, he hits her for the first time. It isn't the last, yet the bruises that can't be seen are the most painful of all. When Trent is injured in a welding accident and his paycheck stops, he has no choice but to finally allow Penny to take a job cleaning houses. Here she meets two women from very different worlds who will teach her to live and laugh again, and lend her their backbones just long enough for her to find her own.

What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. ~ Richard Bach "He always said if I left he would kill me, but there are far worse fates than death. Guess I hadn't known that until I met and married Trent Taylor. I didn't mind the cuts and bruises half as much as the in......more

Goodreads review by Cindy on April 30, 2013

Wings of Glass is not a “fun” book to read. It will not provide you with light-hearted enjoyment, relaxing bedtime reading or even edge of the seat suspense. What it will give you is an undeniable, page-turning experience into the world of domestic abuse. It will hit you in the heart with poignant t......more
