A moving quest for truth and selfhood emerge from these pages.

Elsa's changed a lot since childhood. As a girl, she feared nothing, challenged anything that got in the way of her or her friends.
But at some point, something in her broke. She lives in anguish, tormented by nightly visions she can't understand. She tries to deal with her abandonment issues by diving headlong into a toxic relationship with Joshua, a married man with no intention of doing right by her. People in her life are worried: Vany, her girlfriend with benefits; Jim, her brother going through a divorce; her parents, tortured by the "secret"; and a mysterious neighbor, "No. 13." In order to move forward, Elsa must take a leap of faith, as she did when she was little.
