Nagala by EvonySiren2

A nineteen-year-old girl whose life is lonely and mournful goes through everyday life and endures parental cruelty. She's never allowed to have a lover or a friend because of her parents and is treated like a slave to their home. She gets so desperate of wanting someone she can rely on, lean on, or cry to, that she creates a friend herself. Being a realism artist may just change that... An imaginary friend is always soothing to have when you have no one else to turn to. Yet, that imaginary friend of hers becomes more than what she planned him out to be... Little does she know though, is that God was with her all her life and once she learns of him, her life turns right-side up. She gains love she never thought was possible to have, a freedom she thought could never be grasped, and friends that she believed, would never appear.
