Those Girls by Chevy Stevens FIC Ste

This book was not my favorite by Ms. Stevens but it was still good.  It is divided into two parts separated by 18 years.  When the book begins the Campbell girls are called Jess (15), Dani (16) and Courtney (18).  Their lives have been horrific since the death of their mother.  They live in poverty working hard on their landlord's farm to earn some money.  Most of the time their father is away working.  And that is a good thing.  Because when he is home he is drunk and abusive to the girls.  One night he returns after an absence and he goes too far.  The girls are forced to take off and plan to go to a big city where they can start over with new names.  It won't be easy but at least they will be safe.  But the truck breaks down and they are "helped" by two guys.  The five days that follow will haunt them the rest of their lives.

Eighteen years later the girls are women named Jamie, Dallas and Crystal.  They were able to reinvent themselves with new names but the damage has been done to them.  Every day there is a reminder to what happened to them.  One of the sisters finally realizes that she will have no peace without revenge
