   Summary

   The nights were always the hardest- those hours where Ilya Rozanov was met with silence and the pale moonlight. At one point in his life it had been his favorite time of day- those moments when he snuck away with Shane Hollander and was able to live. Then it got dark and for awhile- he found things to lift the darkness. He worked and worked and worked to dig out of it and then nothing worked. Absolutely nothing worked. But by then- he had daughters who he deeply cared for and he'd do anything to feel again. He'd do anything to find some happiness.

   What started as a way to find happiness- had turned into an addiction that ruled, and ruined, him. This is the story of how Ilya Rozanov finds his way back into the light- one step at a time.
