Her name was Angelica. It wasn't an unusual name. Nor did it mean anything out of the ordinary. But then again-her life was far from normal. When her Mother died, killed by the man who was meant to be her Father, it got worse. She spent every hour of the day, terrified of what the so called 'Man' of the house could do. A mistake-that was what she was known as to her family. From the moment she was born, all the way to the present day. But she never understood why. Her Father was an angry man, she knew that. What she couldn't quite comprehend, was why this temper was always directed towards her. Because, you see, she wasn't the only child living under that monster's name. Her twin sister, Cynder, should have been her best friend in the world. The one she could rely on to protect her. But instead, she was exactly like him. Every single bone in her body, was as rotten as their male descendant's. And who was always on the receiving end of it? None other than sweet little Angelica.

"There is no happy ending with me," he sounded so broken and I felt my heart break for him. ~ ~ ~ It is 1915 and Irene Ashford works in a hospital in L.A. Having always idolized her mother, she became a nurse like her mother before her. Irene quickly gains a reputation amongst the patients; kind, loving, gentle, funny, quick-thinking and patient. Having a particular fondness for children, she is assigned to work with them. Then one day, a little girl, Alexandria comes in, having broken her arm while picking oranges. Irene takes an instant liking to her and vice versa. Irene would often stay with her at night and sometimes rock her to sleep while holding her. It was almost impossible to separate them. Then, all of a sudden, everything changes. One particular hot and humid night, Irene is called away from the children's ward to help with a new patient that is being brought in. It is a young man with a broken spine. She later learns that he works in the film industry as a stuntman. Over the next few weeks, Irene, while working her shifts, notices that Alexandria is often out during the day. Always the curious one, she follows her young patient one day. She discovers that Alexandria has made a new friend, the young man with the injured spine, whose name, Irene learns, is Roy. A few days later, she is reassigned to work in another ward. Roy's ward. In her new post, she sometimes overhears the stories that he tells Alexandria and is drawn in. Over the course of the next few months, Irene develops a close relationship with her paralysed patient. When he leaves, months later, will she be able to simply put him behind her as just another recovered patient? Or will she finally know what it means to follow her heart?
