Allyn Sommers started her day like any other day, getting ready for work at a clothing store. She is going to have to deal with the store on her own because a 24 hour bug has her fellow employees calling in sick. She is supposed to get some help around 4 that afternoon so she just sucks it up and deals with it. She has had an uneasy feeling all day but just brushes it off, being that nothing seems out of the ordinary. Only a short period of time left on her own and a cute, friendly looking guy walks into the store….This is when this story takes a turn for the worst. It begins a heart-wrenching tale of a girl turned victim to a horrific crime. The carefree girl that went to work that day is no longer here, and never will be again. Allyn is now an empty shell, left to relive that day over and over again through nightmares and memories.Allyn isolates herself from the world, terrified the monsters will return. She believes she is destined to have a life filled with fear, loneliness, and no color. When watching tv she learns of Dr.Dominic Shriver and feels a tiny glimpse of hope.Dominic Shriver is a psychiatrist, he takes on the most difficult cases. Dominic is drawn to Allyn and slowly putting her life back together, piece by piece. He is determined to get Allyn back to the life she deserves. He is her light to her darkness.This is a very emotional read, definitely not a light read. As you go on this journey with Allyn you really get an understanding of how someone who has been traumatized may live or not live for that matter. The ending was perfect, no questions left unanswered. This is a great read, one that you will absorb and never forget.
