Echoes in the Darkness Cheryl Shoquist

Cheyenne's body suddenly without warning began turning against her with fierce and haunting attacks of ravaging pain and fear ripping through her with such vengence that with each onslaught she thought that she was surely losing her mind. It wasn't her mind that she was losing though, it was her mind and memory that she was gaining as her subconscious was battling to give her consciousness the details of a past so traumatic that her conscious couldn't deal with the reality, and stored all of the horror into the subconscious memory bank away from the devastation that the knowlege would have caused her. She had been safe for many years until recently, when out of nowhere a juggernaut jolted her subconscious and cracked open the contents as it struggled to come out of hiding to reek havoc once more on the mind and soul of the quiet, sullen and withdrawn cheyenne. With the emotional storm at hand, trying to crest, Cheyenne began investigating her own hauntings, only to find out the truth about herself, and what her deceiving parents had tried to keep buried for so long. With each clue and truth, others did whatever they could do to stop her from discovering her past, and finding out who was responsible. Her rewards at the end of this trecherous journey was a great love, the conviction of those who tried to destroy her, and a very special person enters her life. A very poignant story.
