"It's like music playing on a black movie screen. The music is supposed to clue you in to the scene, but on its own it doesn't make much sense." Jade Lauderdale suffers from a dissociative disorder that makes her depressed, insecure, distracted, and wondering if she'll ever be "normal" again. Not to mention she has a difficult time remembering several years of her past, a symptom which her therapist, Ms. Orowitz, believes is very important to why she may have developed a dissociative disorder in the first place. She asks Jade to keep a journal as a memory exercise in hopes that it will help her unlock the missing pieces. To her surprise, the journal seems to be having an effect, but not as much as her friendship with Austin, who she meets at a therapist-approved painting class. He's the first friend she's made in months, and she's determined to learn how to trust him in spite of her illness's hold on her psyche. As the puzzle pieces of Jade's memories begin to assemble, she makes interesting discoveries about herself and her past, some of which are much more difficult to face than she ever expected. Will she be strong enough to unlock the ultimate memory from her past that will allow her to move forward?
