Do you have a silent struggle that wages deep within your soul? Are there questions, shame, and sadness that resound within at the end of every day? The emptiness and loneliness from not being understood . . . the pain that is too much to bear by yourself so you must numb out just to survive. And then there's the question of "Why do I survive?"

You are not alone. This book is a window into the souls of the troubled at heart. It reveals the silent cries from deep within that rule every thought and action. These pages are about the battle in the mind of someone who found their voice, and wants to share it with a world who suffers in silence.

Don't underestimate someone by a smiling face. What lies beneath may terrify you.
