Theresa never meant to hurt him. It’s just that James got a little obsessed. Okay, really obsessed. She never meant to break his heart, or drive him to do what he did.

Now the only way for her to run from her guilt is to change her name, her clothes, her behavior, and move into a cold and dark world without him. She knows she can never bring him back, and she is willing to live in exile as punishment for what she’s done.

But when a little angel, in the guise of an abused 11-year-old girl, appears at her trailer door, Theresa just might find the forgiveness and closure she so desperately needs.
