After tragedy shatters their world, a young couple is left to endure what remains. What should have been the beginning of their future becomes the moment everything changes forever. As they search for a way forward, their lives are reshaped by grief, trauma, and the weight of what cannot be undone.

And the question that refuses to let go remains: Who are you when everything you were is gone? 🗣️ All rights to author VirgoScribe 🗣️ *** Who Are You? is a contemporary work of fiction exploring love, tragedy, and the lasting impact of trauma on identity.***
