PICKING UP THE PIECES #Book2

'I've reached my lowest point and shit's dark down here. It's ugly and stifling and some days, I truly understand my mother's decision to put an end to it all. Some days, I've been tempted to follow in her footsteps...but no. There has to be more. There are deeper levels in which to spiral, but I refuse to sink any deeper. All hope is not lost. Once you've been knocked down, the only other way is up. There is no other option for me. And so, with the proper help, I'll begin my slow and torturous ascend.'

Kara is more determined than ever to face her demons and break free from the chains holding her captive on the night her world was tipped upside down. What she's not as determined to do just yet, is face the person who had shattered what little bit of her heart she had left. In doing so, she'd have to address her feelings and reveal the real reason she's been avoiding him altogether. Unfortunately, Alex Montgomery has a knack for doing the opposite of what he's told. The more distance Kara places between them, the more he tries to get close. He has a few things to explain and she refuses to give him the time of day. With the help of Dr. Hudson, Katherine, Monroe, Terry and a new and unlikely friend, Kara is intent on healing her wounds and building herself up again. Suddenly, she finds herself at a crossroad. For the first time since that horrid night, she finds herself seriously thinking about her future. What will be the next chapter for her? Where will she go from here? She has a hard decision to make, but on this road to healing and recovery, her own wellbeing is the only thing she can afford to put first.
