Crystal's Heart

Rating:
Summary: Opposites Attract...
Review: Crystal Sheridan is the victim of child abuse - actively by her physically abusive father and passively by her alcoholic mother. Running away from home at the vulnerable age of 15, she gets involved in the world of sex, stripping, drugs and alcohol to survive. After her apartment burns down, she is forced to find a new home.

Laura Taylor is a single, neat-nic lesbian with a miserable romantic history who is currently in need of a roommate to help with expenses. Her realtor friend (and resident matchmaker) rents her spare room to Crystal.

Opposites in almost every way, Crystal and Laura learn to understand each other and help each other start to heal with the help of Jenny, Laura's ex and a psychiatrist who specializes in abuse cases.

As with most by B.L.Miller and Verda Foster, solo or as a team, this is a very good book. It is thought-provoking, well-written, and hard to put down.
