   Summary

   She wasn’t gonna stay in Jersey long — just a few weeks to decompress before the Spring semester at SFU. Catch up with a friend, crash a few DIY shows in Ewing, and spend Winter far from home where real life couldn’t find her. But then, Gerard stumbled into her life.

   This is a story about abuse, addiction, the slow pain of healing, and the monsters who walk with us all the while. It’s about choosing someone before you’ve learned to choose yourself. It’s about reaching for a hand in the darkness, hoping one day it might just squeeze back, and what happens when it does.
