AN ANATOMY OF A WOUNDED SOUL

"My life is a lie, a dark place," Alyssa Pearson said, looking up at the sky with a heavy sigh. The weight of her existence was suffocating her.

"You are in a safe place, Alyssa. This is your home, and your life is as real as you are." He reassured her, standing faithfully by her side. He had made a promise to always be there for her, no matter what. Alyssa needed him, even if she didn't realize it. He understood her insecurities and was willing to protect and support her.

"But I don't remember my home."

***

One single accident completely changed Alyssa Pearson's life. She survived, she breathed, but something inside her was lost, a void that could not be filled. Now she walked through life with a wounded soul, burdened by the secrets and lies of her family, friends, and the town of Mullinville. In the midst of this new reality, she struggled to find her place.

No longer the damsel in distress, Alyssa had to rise and become the hero of her own story. Through the darkness that enveloped her, she had to learn to be brave. Her past remained a blank canvas, a realm of memories she couldn't access, while her present was constructed upon layers of deceit and hidden truths.
