Blown Away The Alternate Cover

Don't judge a book by its cover!  Nothing, and no one, is EVER what they seem. Ellen Christenson escapes from an abusive life, but does one ever escape the scars that are left on their soul?  One must move on, one must try.  But life has a tendency to circle back to what one once knew and she finds her life choices bring her back to the scenes of her abuse, to deal with it finally and fully, in ways she had never thought she would deal with.  It is then that the healing can begin, as she repairs her soul and the people she has devastated along the way.
Ellen hadn't 'intended' to end up in Silicon Valley and its high tech world, but due to life and it's circumstances she finds herself the head of a startup tech company.  Cool, calculating, efficient, she shows the world a side of her that she really isn't, few if any know the real Ellen.  Nearby San Francisco provides her with plenty of girlfriends.  That elusive one, that soul mate, she has a hard time recognizing due to the scars within.
Living with the choice of letting someone die for their sins, for years, Ellen is 'blown away' by the feelings and emotions she has bottled up for so long..
