    To an outsider, Patrice's family is the perfect image of the American Dream. Her stepfather is a successful lawyer, they live in a mansion and she has always had everything she ever wanted. 
          
          But behind the well kept facade, violence and abuse dominate Patrice's life. Marcus rules his family with an iron fist and does not tolerate any form of opposition or disobedience. And one night, he takes it a step further -- and there is no one around to come to Patrice's aid.
          
          
          This Novella can be read independently from "Living With The Choices We Make" however, it contains references to the main story and it would be beneficial to read both for completeness.
