Isla Delaney had spent most of her life avoiding the truth.

She was scared of getting hurt, so much, she hurt herself.

But as she sat in the counselor's office, she attempted to remain open-minded.

As open-minded as one person could be . . .

She had no intention of telling the woman her problems.

However, the woman had every intention of uncovering the mystery behind her.

The woman's only problem was figuring out how to uncover the mystery.

Breaking down the walls of Isla would be challenging.

So, she did the only thing she could think of.

The woman gave Isla a journal with the hopes she'd break down the walls herself.
