Derek McKenzie, a thriving businessman who is about to finalize the biggest deal in his life, stumbles into a night he will never escape. It all starts with the mysterious phone calls, with the unexpected rain, his drunken hands behind the steering wheel, and the little girl dressed in white sitting in the backseat of a red sedan before him. What should have been a twenty-minute detour, the lonely stretch down Sydenham Hill Road prove to be more than that, with its odd twists and turns that never seem to end. And if they are not enough, Derek is reminded by his estranged friend Richard of a secret they buried ten years ago, one that tore their lives apart. With the haunting visions, Derek is seemingly transported to his childhood some three decades ago, and his friendship with the new girl in town, Hailee Miles. His childhood with Hailee, his adulthood with Liz, and the haunting girl in white in the middle of the road-they all seem to come to Derek, as ONE TERRIFYING TRUTH! But how? That is what you (the readers) are yet to know.

Hi, my name is Melissa. I've never considered myself a strong person, but I didn't realize that at the time. I always struggled to keep a job, never really understanding why happiness seemed so elusive. I thought I was content, unaware that I was, in fact, struggling. I know what you might be thinking, but please, keep reading. Something happened to me during my first year of working at 16 that changed my life forever. It hurt me in ways I couldn't fully comprehend, and while that pain has lessened over time, it shaped the person I've become-someone stronger than I ever imagined I could be. What I thought would destroy me instead pushed me to move to another country, a place where I barely knew the language. At just 24 years old, despite my parents' concerns and their insistence that I shouldn't go alone, I embarked on this journey by myself. Up until then, I had often hidden behind my parents, relying on them to face the world for me. But the events of my past forced me to confront life head-on. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was hiding from the world, keeping my head down, and avoiding the challenges that came my way. But now, I'm ready to share my story, lift my head, and face the world with courage. It's been a journey full of unexpected twists, and I promise you-it's going to get interesting.
