Abstract
When a young girl's abusive father is suddenly caught and murdered by the mysterious Stranger, her small world is suddenly and irrevocably transformed. While the girl struggles with her new reality, the Stranger struggles with himself and an unknown bond that they are destined to create.
The chapter included is a small part of a much larger novel but its importance is paramount. While the storyline in the chapter is rather self-contained, the greater plot hinges on the characters that are introduced and their importance to each other.
