What happens when everything in your world comes crumbling down? Do you give up or fight harder to keep going? Sheilayne Williams is a mother, wife, entrepreneur, and all around go getter. Her family is her first true love, but on the outside looking in, one would think Sheilayne put her career before them. When the first onset of tragedy strikes, not only does Sheilayne drown herself more into her work, but the almighty bottle becomes her best friend. After experiencing major losses, some of which she blames herself for, Sheilayne feels as if her back is against the wall. She withdraws from family and friends that have been there for her for years. Silence becomes her refuge. Though her friends are concerned, they slowly begin to leave her life. In her mind, they were never her friends to begin with. Turning to strangers has become the norm for her, feeling that opening up to them, she will not be judged. After a while, she begins to slowly distance herself from the strangers as well. Alone with her thoughts, Sheilayne begins a downward spiral, slipping further from reality. Not having anything left to fight for—or so she feels—taking her life seems like the only option for her. Will Sheilayne escape the dark cloud that seemed to loom over her for the past year, or will she submit to the Silence once and for all?
