Susan Mason is living the life of a neglected little girl, spending her days caged in her tiny room with nothing but pen and paper to keep her company. She often wonders what the big outside world holds within its hands, and writes of her dreams beyond the gated hell she calls home.

As she rings in her seventeenth birthday, Susan escapes into the night to make her way to Boston; searching for her true happiness. While fulfilling the promise she'd made to herself to always dream big, Susan finds love hidden deep within the broken heart of a stranger. John Barrow McQuade carries with him dark secrets of the past that will inevitabley tear the two apart.

Realizing her final dream, Susan soon discovers that sometimes there is a very thin line between what we imagine, and the unimaginable.

"Gray the day and damp my spirits

as I hurried on my way;

to do the errands that I must

even on so bad a day.

The clouds gave forth a mighty yield,

just as I left the car-

The awning of a store, nearby;

in the downpour, still seemed far.

I looked at my watch, and fretted

I could see time whirring by-

With a dozen things left yet to do;

and an ever darkening sky."

Excerpt from The Picture

"A young mother watched as her beautiful baby daughter played in the early morning sunlight. As if sensing her, the baby gazed thoughtfully; her blue-green eyes catching just a small glint of the sun.

The mother thought, will my daughter ever know just how much I love her?

That evening, the mother rocked her bouncing baby under a starry sky and a smiling moon. "My darling," she whispered. "I love you to the moon and back."
