-TRIGGER WARNING for sexual assault and related traumas-

**I have seen very few stories that show the recovery process of survivors. This is a fictional work based on my personal experiences. I welcome anyone to read, and encourage it! And to anyone who is like me and may have struggled with something similar, I am so sorry. I love you all.

Adrienne Pierce feels like a reanimated corpse- she fulfills her duties with little enthusiasm, functions just enough to be considered alive, but at the end of the day... she feels like nothing. This is her story, my story, and the story of many others; recovery, hope, love, and trust. There is hope.
