[Stuart · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hennesy is a young woman lost amidst her inner sadness, anger, and self-loathing. The death of her mother sent her along a lonely sullen path; the death of her sister, years later, takes her on a new journey. She has to persevere even still submerged in doubt. Is she seeking redemption and release from her inner demons, or will she allow herself to continue falling into her mental abyss?

This is Marie's first novel, but not her first attempt at writing. If you have been a fan of her online writing (on Twitter and on her own blog) and have had the pleasure of reading the nonfiction book of her travels and travails, then you're in for a treat. Just discovering Marie? You'll be glad you did.
