Damaged — Candace Campbell

“No one can hurt me when I just let them take what they want from me.”
Claudia was lost, frozen with fear and utterly damaged by life. Four years later Harold Burns' presence still lingered. To escape from the pain in her heart she tried anything but the momentary escapes sex, drugs, alcohol left her feeling hollow and displaced.
Beauty may be a curse if that's all a person thinks they are worth. To her, the world was such a vile place. Claudia desperately wanted normality; to be loved and to love but the damage was so hard to let go of. She has to learn to face herself before she can move on and be happy.
