Fire was my only companion。 A burning light in a world otherwise filled with darkness。 A life of pain and abuse I never thought I’d escape。

I’m still not convinced I have。

When friendly Santa-figure turned trucker， Al， finds me at a rest stop and offers me a job at his idyllic farm in small-town Nebraska， the picturesque family life is more than I could hope for。

And his youngest son， Kyle， is a dream romance that I don’t deserve。
But no dream lasts。 As a new nightmare begins， I’m back where I started。

Captive。 Abandoned。 Alone。 And staring into the flames。

Except this time the embers are dying， and when the monster in the dark enslaves my soul， no one will stoke me back to life。
