Ruth thinks she knows what love is. It is emotional and physical pain, control and submission. It's all she's ever known. On her wedding day, she is hit by a car and put into a coma. Left alone with her memories, she relives her past, from childhood to the present day. She faces every decision she ever made, every blow she ever received. Can she learn from her past? Can she Wake Up? The story of Ruth is one of misguided love, loss and the road to recovery. Join her on this journey of discovery. "Wow, what a great depiction of a domestic violence situation. I feel Claire worked though the experience very well and the story line could be true to life." 5* review on Goodreads.
