She's a writer with a personality disorder
He's a doctor that has always followed the rules......until her.Dr. Edward Chase has built his entire career on a foundation of rigid principles and unyielding discipline. A by-the-book surgeon, he prides himself on his adherence to the rules that govern his profession. His life is orderly, predictable, and impeccably controlled-until Rory Vaughn disrupts everything.
Rory, a prodigious writer tormented by a severe personality disorder, crashes into Edward's life with the force of a hurricane. Her world is a web of chaotic emotions and erratic behaviors, a stark contrast to Edward's meticulous existence. When she lands in his care after a near-fatal incident, Edward is thrust into the labyrinth of her troubled mind.
As he navigates the stormy seas of Rory's psyche, Edward becomes ensnared by her fierce intellect and raw vulnerability. Her vivid and often disturbing narratives captivate him, revealing glimpses of her fractured world. Despite the professional risk, he is drawn into her orbit, finding himself compelled to understand the depths of her suffering and the brilliance of her creativity.
Edward's obsession with Rory leads him down a path fraught with ethical quandaries and personal turmoil. He begins to blur the lines between doctor and confidant, between healer and protector. Each encounter with Rory challenges his perception of sanity, morality, and his own tightly wound control.
As their bond deepens, Edward faces increasing scrutiny from his colleagues and family and risks losing everything he has worked for. Yet, the more he learns about Rory, the more he questions the very rules that have defined his life. Is it possible to save her without destroying himself? And in the end, what rules are truly worth breaking?
In the heart of the chaos, Edward must confront the ultimate question: How far will he go to save a soul on the edge of oblivion?
Or will he ride the waves of oblivion by her side?

Q U O T E S
"She had tricked him. She had made him leave his old self behind and come into her world, and then before he was really at home in it but too late to go back, she had left him stranded there - like an astronaut wandering about on the moon. Alone."
- Katherine Paterson, Bridge to Terabithia
"So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be."
- Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
"And when we look in through the windows, all we see are shadows. And when we try and listen, all we hear is a whispering. And we cannot understand the whispering, because our minds have been invaded by a war. A war that we have both won and lost. The very worst sort of war. A war that captures dreams and re-dreams them. A war that has made us adore our conquerors and despise ourselves."
- Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things
