A Spring Awakening

Sometimes, when things seem to be better, they really aren’t. They really, really aren’t.

David Sourbook thought he’d been saved. He thought his problems were behind him. A new life had opened up before him, with a new lady friend, a new faith and a new circle of friends.

But was it really that simple?

Dark depths began to open up beneath his feet. Long-buried influences reached out to grab him. Long-forgotten hurts twisted his mind and his heart. Getting free wasn’t going to be anything like easy.

And these new people, even his lady friend, were they really helping him, or blind to his actual needs?

Was he stumbling towards the light – or into the night?
