In the Beginning — A.K. Brown

What if the breadcrumbs of your past are all that you need to find the key to your future? Existing, for Cherish, has never been simple—far from it. Her family treats her like a slave. Her friends are almost whispers in the wind. She always seems to be a few minutes too late, several dollars too short, and never in the right place at the right time. So, when her therapist asks if she's ready to commit suicide, she's forced to acknowledge that something is… off. She'd always been told that what's in the past, is in the past. And for that reason, she'd eventually developed the emotional endurance of a robot. But now, she realizes that the only way forward, is to first, go back.
