Some storms don't come with thunder. They come with silence. One ordinary night changes everything for Draya. What was supposed to be the beginning of a new life-new apartment, new plans, new hope-shatters in a single moment she will replay in her mind forever. The television was still on. The room looked normal. But nothing would ever be normal again. South Carolina offers distance. Grandma offers wisdom.
But healing demands something deeper. Because love doesn't disappear when someone does. And guilt doesn't fade just because you survive. She survived the storm. Now she has to survive herself.
