Orphaned and separated from her brother David at the age of five, Melanie grew up feeling abandoned and destined to be alone and unloved. The terror, loneliness, and abuse she experienced in foster care filled her nightmares and fuelled her despair.

After years of struggling with depression and addiction, she finds her brother in prison. David's confession of murder leads her on a tumultuous journey out of darkness to find unexpected connections, love, and healing.
