Have you ever felt the urge to scream so loud your voice could break and your insides condense to stone?
Agnes has.
When she is dragged to a remote decrepit house on a mountainside in the middle of Austria, her life is at a standstill.
Her parents' apparent eagerness for exploring life as close to 'off the grid' as possible has brought her to a halt in her perfectly comfortable life as a teenager of the 21st century - addicted to the internet and hot water in the tap.
This would be her definition of her own personal hell. But she will discover she was mistaken, when she experiences first hand just how cruel life can be.
A new life in unknown territory will test her as a person and either help her to become more of who she is or break her down. The question is: When she faces the biggest change of all, will she allow a stranger to come close enough to help her evolve into her potential?

Mrs. Avery
Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us."
