Imagination's Ties

"You're not real, though! You're from my mind!" Eve stuttered, trying to wrap her head around the fact that her own mind's creation was standing in front of her. "If you don't believe I'm real, then here," Daniel offered her a hand, and she looked at it hesitantly, "touch my hand. My flesh is solid," she did as he commanded, and his flesh was just as warm as hers, "My Lady, I'm as real as you are." Eve Hawthorne was a lonely child growing up. Lucky for her, she had a very vivid imagination, which allowed her to make the friends she could never find. But when she's older, the boundary between Eve's reality and imagination becomes blurry, until she believes that both are real life, and she's just forced to live two lives rather than one. When she is sent to live with her grandmother, she is immediately told it is all rubbish, but she insists that it isn't. Tossed into therapy, Eve is made to let go and forget all of the memories she has in her world, and to come back to "reality". When she finally gives in, things seem to become "normal" for Eve. That is, until Daniel, the best friend from her imagination, sits down next to her in English, and tells her that her inner world is in danger. Wait, what?! Daniel soon takes Eve back into her childhood fantasy, in which she discovers all of her fears have grown and come to power when she had left. Will she take up the challenge to flush them out, or will she go back to reality and give up on imagination all together? Loving your family, friends, and never giving up imagination becomes reality in this novel, and Eve soon discovers that a world without her imagination's ties can never house her.
