Nearly stopped reading after choppy, poorly written first 30 pp, but decided to give it a little more chance. Became a very compelling story, with much better writing. Not sure why the writer did this, except perhaps to reflect the woman's emotional state at the beginning. So, two recommendations: (1) to the reader: keep reading! (2) to the writer/publisher: rewrite beginning, bceause the emotions could be reflected without this poor writing.
