Tyler soon began hitting on Danica which in turn escalated into beatings. Like others before her, she is faced with the fear of embarrassment. The fear of having people know that she, too, is a domestic violence victim would inevitably show her followers that she was weak. Danica's secret story was finally revealed after a detailed account of her dramatic story of domestic violence was found in a journal in her attic. This powerful story takes our reader through the vicious cycles of abuse, and the brutal reality of the effects domestic violence has and what cost Danica her life.
