Then she'll be free to curl up and cancel Christmas. But it turns out escaping the fame goldfish bowl comes with some perks: peace and quiet, no baying press, plus regular battles with her Mr Darcy-esque new neighbour to keep her edge.

Enola Wilson was a sweet little girl that unnoticeably landed in the path of evil. Parents always warn their children of the dangers in a stranger, but how often are we warned about our own blood relatives? Enola was the victim of incest, rape, and child molestation by the age of five. Where? In her grandmother's basement. After nine years of agonizing silence, Enola comes clean to her mother. After a brief confrontation instilled at her grandmother's home over her mother bringing light to her sexual abuse, she was shunned from the family. Enola longed for the attention of the people who protected her abuser, rather than her. She was shunned for being the victim of child rape. Her abuser taunted her for years. Narcissism, alcoholism, violence, sexual abuse, generational curses that must be broken. Enola took a stand. Evil is not always lurking around in the dark outside of the window. Sometimes it is within. Are you awake?
