description: In 1992, Shelby DeFriece was like any other young woman. She was young, in-love and had a future that was so bright and promising. Christopher was a handsome, athletic, gifted young man, yet he suffered with a terminal illness, known by the name of depression, that ultimately led to his own self-destruction. Shelby was like most all young women, her hopes; her dreams were all attached to the fairy-tale aspiration of marrying the handsome prince. Never did she imagine, until it happened to her, that her prince would complete suicide. Left with fears, insecurities, and uncertainties Shelby spent nearly twelve years lost in a maze of mixed emotions. Work became the substance by which Shelby survived the toxin of the influences. Vowing never to let her heart surrender to another man, Shelby sanctified control of her emotions. Yet when she met Richard, the energy and chemistry was so electrifying that her heart yielded to the passion that pervaded between them. Shelby was a woman who very much needed to feel accepted for the tragedies in her life. She was a woman divided. There was the suicide that ultimately shattered the relationship between her and Chris; there was the suicide that ultimately took a part of her that she had not realized until much too late. Breaking from the strain of rejection bestowed, not only from the relationship with Richard, but from the enormous baggage carried from her past, Shelby went on a journey to find a final absolution. Tears, sacrifice, loneliness, and despair had plagued most of Shelby's adult life. Yet never had the affects been so detrimental in her struggle to survive. Shelby has one final death, until she is reborn into the woman she is destined tobe.
