Alana Mitchell came to accept that her life was destined to be a hard and miserable one. In her mind it was only fair. After all, it was her fault her dad was dead and her mother turned to drugs and alcohol. So she was determined to protect her little sisters and spend her life making up for her mistakes.
But things get difficult when her mother's condition worsens and tragedy strikes again. When her past and forseeable future threatens to tear her apart, she's forced to fight to keep the promise she made to her father.
This is the tale of how one dark night sent Alana Mitchell down the path of pain, misery, and self-hate. The very same path that also leads her to the road to peace of mind, acceptance, and love.

An oblivious teen, an oblivious mind. He is, without a doubt, as desperate for change as they come. Though the road towards wisdom seems treacherous, his heart and mind shall unite, and together they shall guide Darryl to a pleasurable, if not enlightening, path.
