She gets passed on from one man to another; eventually ending up being raped by her "cool" stepdad... Love entered her life in a most strange and mysterious way after she gave herself permission to be discovered. Embracing real love opens the door to romance via a digital communication following an unexpected tragedy. Love at first byte is a must-read for anyone who has or who knows girls searching for their true worth, identity and value in a more permissive world!Cici would have been a heroine of the 'me-too' movement if she spoke up in her time, maybe?
