Despite everything he went through,he moves heaven and earth to protect his wife. <br /><br />The first heroine to come to mind is the nameless narrator of Rebecca. Even though she is weak and unsure of herself in the begining, by the end, she has grown and become confident in her own skin and in her marriage.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786139533776263328noreply@blogger.com
