In a world of deceit and and love a young girl has to face the brutal reality of her life and find a way to live. This story follows Maia as she navigates heartbreak and mental illness. 


~Excerpt~

   Laying on her back, staring at the endless sea above her, she felt minuscule. All of the emotions running through her made her feel explosive to the point of nothingness. 
It was such a strange feeling, to feel so much yet nothing at all. So strange in fact, that most times she thought she was losing her sanity. Maia often felt like her sanity was dangling by a thread. As if at any moment it would snap and she would start screaming and never stop.

The thought brought back a memory. Of storming green eyes. Almost emerald. Her tether to the ground and the reason she was losing herself. 
A young man. Just the age of twenty. Beautiful in the way that a Greek statue was beautiful. Not conventionally but artistically.
Now just a memory. A whisper of what might've been. Could've been.
