Her hurting pulled her over the edge, into the abyss of suicide, but the wings of awe and truth lifted her beyond that dark void and guided her to a different way. Jasmine has always felt different from the crowd. Often finding herself standing outside of the circle, looking in, she has never quite belonged. Her parents disapprove of her. Her peers turn their backs. A trusted friend betrays her. And just when it seems that things could not get any worse, her career aspirations come crashing down. Why? Why can't she get anything right? There seems to be nowhere left to go; nothing remains except the pain. Enough! All Jasmine wants is for the hurting to stop . . . to end . . . to never hurt again. But then she feels it-the lightest of all touches, as of wings, whispering of the way out of the darkness. Why? tells a story of how even the deepest anguish can be conquered, allowing one to soar to the heights of hope, inner peace, and self-acceptance.
