About the Book
Written in 2010, Laura Hilliger's first book. Cursed with unfathomable rationality and impenetrable thought processes, Laura flitters through life without regard for convention, tradition or preservation. Her inability to perceive danger results in tricky situations that stretch the limits of human tolerance. When she falls in love with two older men, her perception of the world changes and she begins to accept what she is, an intelligent and dangerous combination of fire and ice. As Laura opens her mind and herself up to the unconventional, she begins to forget that actions have consequences, and that consequences can be damaging. Laura must reassess the lessons she's learned in order to recover from her destructive decisions.
