Penny Bolander | Natsukashii Series

Marrying her high school sweetheart, Penny Bolander thought she had everything and worked at being the perfect housewife like her parents always expected of her. Sure, she had to put aside the dreams of science she’d harbored since she was a child but it was obvious she couldn’t find a place for her in those heights. Everything was good with Daniel, until it wasn’t. It started with simple things, little digs and comments to break her down, chop at her ego. And before she knew it, she was suffering his mental and emotional abuse every day, eventually escalating to physical abuse when he thought she’d stepped out of line or not done as required quick enough. Yet there is nowhere to run, no one to help, and it’s not like divorce is simple or well regarded in her day and age. But when things were at it’s darkest, a light shined on her when her older neighbor’s child moved back home to help, and to recover from their own personal issues. It has given her company, and solace, but she knows it can’t be anything more, not matter how much she wants to simply run away.
