Ashley Farrow disappeared her senior year of high school, without a trace, from the sleepy town of Shady Oaks, Texas. The community was devastated, frantically searching for their town sweetheart. Soon though, the trail died and people were forced to move on. People occasionally talked about her.
Maybe she ran away.
Maybe she was kidnapped.
Maybe it was her foster parents.
Until she comes back, nearly six years later, with a new name and no answers.

The Tether : Tale of a Restless Soul
Amanda Fulwood has always felt out of place. Since she can remember, she was never capable of distinguishing the real from the fake, her mind constantly questioning whether she lived what she remembered or if it was just an outstanding dream.
