This was a really well written story that grabs the reader and pulls you right in. It was definitely one that I couldn't put down and thought about afterwards. Gabrielle Hadley is working as a prison officer in order to support her child and to be in vicinity of the birth mother who gave her away. She interrupts the beating of convict Randall Tucker and subsequently is picked to transfer him to another prison. During this transfer he escapes and they end up trying to survive in the desert together. When Gabby becomes convinced that Tucker is innocent her moral dilemma begins. Recommended!
