The life of Tiana Halford was rarely easy. As an infant, she was raised without a mother. As a child, she faced abuse that she could not fathom. And as a teenager she suffered through ridicule and persecution from her peers. Throughout her life, she was held up and kept from oblivion by her best friend, Zach Ames. She often envied Zach's calm, normal upbringing, and his lack of a haunting past. She appreciated his constant support and dedication to her through all the horrible moments in her life. All she needed was a person without those hard moments in life to show her what life could be, and Zach was always the person willing to give her that. But, little did either of them know, his hard times simply had yet to begin.
