Publisher's Synopsis
Arya, a stunning young woman, marries her high school sweetheart, Dale, at the tender age of 20. Putting her career on hold to embrace the whirlwind of wedding and honeymoon plans, Arya steps into a life of luxury from his father's thriving business empire. But beneath the glittering surface of their rich lifestyle lies a darker reality. Over time, Arya begins to feel like a mere shadow of Dale, her identity lost in his rigid routines and controlling nature. Her dreams of studying further ignite conflict, and Dale's temper reaches a breaking point when he abuses her-first at a public event and then again behind closed doors. This is Arya's story of facing domestic violence. Will she remain caged in a gilded prison, or will she find the strength to reclaim her freedom and soar?
