Taylor Montgomery is an intelligent and street-smart detective. Working the mean streets of Chicago with her partner, she's accustomed to coming in contact with the best and worst of human character. Capable and sure of herself, Taylor never expected she would become a victim - but she did - and what she suffered devastated her. Working on a case, Taylor disappears for two days. As her partner and detectives frantically search for her, expecting the worst, she is found 48 hours after her disappearance; savagely beaten and barely alive. Remembering nothing about her kidnapping, Taylor begins the long road to recovery, healing physically and emotionally with the help of a therapist, her family and friends. Desiring a fresh start, Taylor moves to Arizona, where she meets someone who has a peace and calm spirituality about her. Still cautious and distrustful that she can ever be happy and feel safe again, Taylor begins a friendship with the woman, who shows her that living in the past is worst than any physical harm anyone could do to her. Can Taylor begin again and will she finally find her peace? Sally Donovan writes a compelling story with authentic characters and a smart plotline that pulls the reader into a woman's agony, recovery, and acceptance. Touching on the sensitive emotions that exist in all of us, Donovan's debut novel is a memorable book that beautifully captures the relief of letting go to move forward. She lives on a farm near Phoenix with her husband and two daughters.Author's Website: http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/NeverTheSame.htmlPublisher's Website: http://www.strategicbookgroup.com
