When You Testify

Two tormented souls clash, intertwining as they search for love and solace, but will they find it, mending their souls as one?

Billy has moved on with his life in a new town, a new state, attempting to run from the pain of his past. But can you truly run from the things that haunt you? The worst moments of his life hover, waiting for the time when they can reveal themselves and torment him once more.

Cassiya is literally running from her years of physical torment, only to run right into Billy. She needs a miracle to escape her fate, and Billy, with his connections to the local police, may just be that and more.

When testifying is the only way to save her life, Billy accepts his role, only to reveal his life's darkest secrets.

Will they both be able to heal from their traumas to find a future or will closure and happiness remain an illusion for each of their lives?
