Mistie Jolin dreams of a future like the ones she has read about in books. Her past won't get her there. Only escape will. College goes downhill when she realizes health care isn't available to students with real medical needs. The army is her last hope. Once there, she is pulled back into a past better buried, to uncover secrets she never dreamed existed. Secrets that will haunt her, and hundreds of others till they die. She must face her fears, the past, and those she has come to trust. Her hope is that they will allow her to recover and become a real person, rather than the shadow that creeps on the wall and follows her every move.
