Dear Carson

**She couldn't save Carson.**

So she'll save everyone else.

After losing her best friend to suicide, Milly is left with a guilt she can't escape. No matter how many times she's told it wasn't her fault, she can't believe it. In her mind, she should have noticed. She should have been there. She should have saved him.

So she makes herself a promise.

If she couldn't save Carson, she'll save everyone else.

A blind music student. A stranger drowning in debt. Someone who needs a second chance. Someone who needs more than she can afford to give.

Milly gives them everything.

Her time. Her money. Her opportunities. Eventually, even pieces of herself.

To everyone else, she's kind. Selfless. Maybe even extraordinary.

But every good deed brings her one step closer to the promise she made to a dead boy.

*Dear Carson,*

*I'm still trying.*

*I miss you every day.*

**A story about grief, guilt, sacrifice, and what happens when you spend your entire life saving everyone except yourself.**
