I was held captive for 26 months by a faceless monster. My first 12 months of freedom were spent in a psychiatric facility. The next 18 months of my early twenties consisted of my childhood home and my parents coaxing me back into the land of the living. I haven’t felt alive for 56 months. Please tell me how something dead inside is supposed to make it in the real world. Because that’s what my mom and dad think is best for me…living. Moving out. Getting a job. Making my own food. Turning my light off before I make it to my bed. But how? How do I live when I don’t even know how to survive? Who will help me when the nightmares steal the air from my lungs? Who’s going to tell me everything will be okay when I refuse to believe them? One thing’s for sure…nothing is okay. I’m broken beyond repair and that monster…he’s still out there.

I spent about 780 days in captivity. My first 365 days of freedom were in a psychiatric facility. The following 547 days I spent being comforted by my parents. For 1,692 days, I forgot how to live. Joy and excitement weren’t in my vocabulary. Then my men gave me over 100 days of everything I lost. They made me feel repairable. Piece by piece, I started becoming whole. The monster came back though. I hope the happiness and love I found will keep me warm in the following days of darkness because I’ll need them. I’ll need my men. Once again, I’m all alone and apparently, I’ve healed enough to be broken again. Author's This is book 2 of the Damaged Duet.
