After the death of both of her parents, Bella is left to the care of supposed friends of the family. But the longer she stays in their home, the more sinister events become. Family secrets leave her locked behind closed doors, both literally and metaphorically. And her one long-time ally has suddenly turned against her, no longer willing to stand between Bella and her abusive foster father.Plagued by the memories of her mother's death and remembrances of the kind young doctor who, while caring for her mother in her last days, gently removed eight-year-old Bella from her dead mother's arms on the worst morning of Bella's life, she misses the love of her parents, especially after being blamed for the death of her foster mother and the crippling injuries of her foster father. Now all of the people she has loved are now dead...except one. But he now callously joins in her abuse, seeming to take pleasure from her pain. Pinned within the four walls of her small bedroom, Bella yearns to flutter freely, to live a real life once again. Will she ever be rescued from her abusers?

What could have happened between Twilight and New Moon? What if we could look at the events of what Bella called her "perfect summer" from Edward's point-of-view? Evening Star shows us what could have happened immediately after Twilight ended and how/why the events in New Moon could have unfolded...with infinite thanks to Stephenie Meyer who invented such incredible and timeless characters. Although invested with much imagination which remains within the boundaries of Meyer's Twilight Saga, Evening Star shows us Edward's viewpoint of the events of the summer that culminated with his leaving Bella following Jasper's attack, thus answering the question, "Why does Edward leave Bella when they obviously love one another so much?" And Love is always, always the answer....
