Prologue
When someone is in possession of a secret so terrible they cannot divulge it to anyone they will go to extraordinary lengths to conceal it, and those they love will believe the lies. It is easier to close your eyes and ears to what you suspect the truth may be and accept deceit than it is to delve in the dark places of a mind and confront whatever horrors lurk in the shadows.
When someone in possession of a terrible secret finds the strength and resolve to speak, and no one listens, that is a greater tragedy still.
Are we always destined to turn from what we cannot or do not want to face?
