Abilene Anders looks like your regular high school student. But what's she hiding under those long clothes that cover her skin? How'd she drop over 50 pounds in a matter of months? Why did she stop playing sports and having her friends over? Maybe she's just an overly modest, health freak, clumsy 16 year old girl.
Or maybe there's more. Maybe it has to do with her mother's death. Maybe it has to do with what happens at home when the windows are shut and the doors are closed. But wouldn't her friends notice the bruises, cuts, scars, and the pain in her eyes? Maybe they did. Maybe they will.
Are you prepared to go on this journey with Abilene in a battle of what she wants to believe and what she really does? Ready to see the dark side of church deacons when no one's looking? Are you ready to fall in love with her friends and cry with her while she feels alone?
Buckle up because this is a trip of love, sadness, abuse, and finding out what you truly believe. This isn't your normal abuse story and it definitely won't be what you expect.

With family secrets, mental health issues, heartbreak, and fake people? After all, she met the one and only Aaron Owens, and he changed her life. *********************************** "Oh my gosh! Author! reading this story was just... I have no words. The adventure you took me on was just dreamy. You made me laugh out loud so hard and you also made me cry.
