Robin Jacobs is living a seemingly normal life until the night she is brutally raped, beaten, and left to die in a park only a block away from her house. Befriended by strangers and driven by a paralyzing fear that the man with the cold green eyes will never be caught, Robin lies helpless in a hospital bed as she watches the only life she has ever known disintegrate before her very eyes. Yet Robin knows she is a survivor and is determined to break free from the terrifying memories. With the support of her brother Paul and best friend Kate, Robin finds the strength to move past the attack and even falls in love-without ever knowing that the sequence of events that preceded the brutal rape will be far more detrimental to her future than she ever could have imagined. Worse yet, Robin is about to make a mistake that will cause more pain than the rape itself. As Robin's life spirals out of control, she soon realizes that only she has the power to take it back from a madman who will stop at nothing until he achieves cold-blooded revenge.
