What She Lost And Found
by M.L. Garcia
When you are faced with challenges, what matters most is how you choose to deal with them. That determines your fate...
Her life seemed perfect...
Her best friend since childhood, was like a sister to her. Wherever she'd go, her best friend Christina, was usually nearby. It should have been a wonderful beginning into adulthood during her freshman year of college. Unfortunately, two horrible nights would shake her world to the core.
Innocence would be stolen, lives would be shattered
and a young life is lost. Nothing would ever be the same again for Daniela.
Daniela Franco stopped trusting others after a horrible ordeal she experienced, at the hands of people within her own hometown. With a past that relentlessly continues to control her life, she decides to protect herself by never allowing anyone to get close enough to destroy her world again.
For the past few years, focusing on work and school, staying away from the wild-college parties and keeping a tiny circle of friends, has kept her safe. But life has a way of changing things.
Her secrets from the past begin to slowly resurface, threatening to rock her world again in the dark and destructive ways it had years earlier.
Can Daniela face the demons from her past, when they are determined to finish what was started?
Will the people she has begun opening up to, be able to survive her secrets as well as their own?
With new friendships, chances to build trust again, the possibility of finding love and experiencing intimacy the way it is meant to be,
changes are certain.
Daniela must try to live with what she lost and with what will soon be found...

*****I received an arc in exchange for an honest review*****
This book was truly amazing, there will be tears and heartbreak, anger where you just want to hit out at the character, then you remember they are not real, and there is a twist that you really will not expect.
ML Garcia has some true talent here with this book, it's well written, you will not want to put it down.
A truly brilliant read.

Daniela has made friends, grown feelings, she has actually open her self up to live. but when she goes back home and visit with Nick she gets that uneasy feeling again.Will Daniela ever feel safe and will she ever get her true love.
This book had a lot of characters and each one played an important part in this story. Although Daniela suffers a great deal, she stays strong with help of all her friends. I gave this book a 4 star rating, it was just that I hated so much happen to this one girl, but the book itself is awesome.
