These pages are an emotional journey born from the mind and heart of a survivor: a suvivor of a cult, sexual assault and of suicide. They were born from a mother, a friend and a lover. They were born from pain, loss, hope, survival and from love. The author's wish is that those who seek solace in their darkness can find some comfort in knowing they are not alone. Allow this anthology to resonate on a soul level, while catching a glimpse into a heart not unlike your own.
