I’m dead.
I’m cold and alone and I’m dead. There’s no air in my lungs. My chest is as cold and hollow as a cave on a
snow-capped mountain side. My heart no longer beats there. Frigid winds whistle through my ribs and
the sadness inside me weeps like my favorite tree.
Days ago, I met with death face to face. The mirror, our meeting place. My two darkened green eyes
stared deeply into hers. I tilted my head to the side. She did too.
“It’s time,” I whispered.
“It’s time,” she whispered.
And with that I turned away from her, the woman in the mirror who knew all of my secrets and all of my
pain. I walked away from her and yet we’d never been closer than we were in that moment. The inner
struggle was over. No more arguing with the woman in the mirror. No more arguing with myself. The
choice was made. She was the victor. Or was I?
That was the day Riah Winter died.
How do I put into words the feels this book made me feel. It was an emotional ride for sure. While reading it I had my screen black and it added to the story since the words were white. It made me feel more connected with the characters.
This story is about a wife/mother/daughter/friend who suffers with depression and shows how she chooses to deal with it. There are days when I can relate to some of the issues Riah deals with and days when I worry about them happening in the future. I took a lot away from this book and plan to apply it to my life. Live in the now and try to endure and enjoy each and every day. The most important thing is to listen more, love more, and just be there. You never know who made need you for support or when you will need support from someone else.
Kathryn lives in her small East Texas hometown with her family. She 's a music infused writer and self-
proclaimed book junkie. When she isn't listening to music, writing or reading you'll probably find her
watching her favorite sport, UFC.
