Star Bright — Christina Ow

“Someone won't be winning parent of the year anytime soon either.” The edge of his lips rose in half a smile. He looked at her and then at his sleeping daughter, he loved seeing them like that, they looked perfect. Maria stared at him, a smile automatically dominating her face. “Your parenting skills are contagious.” Maria's fear and hate for men is solidified by Ricky's abuse and his obsession to kill her. In an effort to save her son, she runs away and crosses paths with Dave, a man going through his own tribulations with his wife. He is determined to protect her, and to show her that not all men are evil and that true love does exists. And he in turn, finds a woman worthy to be a mother to his daughter, and his wife. But their dream of having a loving family is short lived when a ghost from Maria's past comes back to take it all away from her in the most brutal and torturous way. But Maria isn't alone anymore and most importantly, her father finally shows up to do what he was supposed to five years ago. Protect his daughter.
