He left her hollow, her essence: shredded and consumed by madness.

Trying to cope with Nicholas's absence, Katherine seeks him in her dreams, memories of their love tying her fractured identity into a precarious bundle. She thinks she can cope in the "dreamland" new friends offer, but a fated encounter with her perfect man leaves her shredded yet again. Despite her tattered frame, Katherine is certain that Nicholas is her necessary truth. Now, it's a matter of figuring out a way to make her own life unnecessary.
