Stronger Despite This - Paperback

A story about inner strength, mental health, and finding the reasons behind even the worst circumstances. Kriss only wanted to stop the rumors, the lies that followed him into high school; he didn't expect and innocent action to leave him twisting, falling, changing. Ima just wanted to do her duty, to live up to her family's legacy, to keep everyone safe; she should have expected it all to slip through her fingers, to fail, for it all to go so horrifically wrong. Their worlds are shattered under the weight of something ancient, something dark, something inhuman, and neither of them know how to pick up the pieces.All they can ask is "why"?There has to be a reason; for the pain, for the suffering, for every broken shard of thought and memory, there has to be. But reasons aren't always easy to accept, and even then the hurt doesn't always fade away. It is a long path to fixing your mistakes, and a longer one toward acceptance, but they find that they don't have to take it alone.Sometimes a curse can be a gift. Sometimes tears can be a blessing.Sometimes to win the day, to fix everything, salvation can be found in the strangest places.
