Never in her wildest dreams had Carly ever envisioned her life taking the horrific and drastic turns that it had in the last couple of years. She had been so young, only 18 when she fell pregnant, she had been so in love with James, ever since she was 12, and he had been in love with her for just as long. When they discovered she was pregnant they had left town together, with the support of James’ family, they had fled their lives where Carly felt she was having the light squeezed out of her day by day by her overbearing Aunt and her perfect cousin, not to mention her borderline abusive Uncle. James, who had fallen in love with her at first sight at the tender age of 13, had taken her away from it all; they had run away from their homes right after James’ graduation, to live in a home provided to them by the college that James accepted. Everything had been perfect. As perfect as Carly could ever have dreamed, until it wasn’t. At the slight age of only just 21, she already found herself a widow with a 3-year-old son named Jamie. The weight of single parenthood, coupled with the grief of losing her husband the way she had, pressed heavily on her young shoulders. Returning home, widowed, strange happenings forced her to run. She had never really felt safe there but now, after what they did to her baby? She would find a way to save him and she would plot her revenge…. Once she understood what had happened at least. Yet, Carly was determined to rise above it all, to prove to all of those who looked at her with pity, that she could stand on her own two feet and thrive despite the heart-breaking tragedy that had led her to this point. Where will life take her next?
