Eyes Of Darkness - JOURNEYS INTO THE HEARTLAND, #1

The still birth of a long-desired-for baby raises the haunting spectre of guilt over failures real and imagined and over things that happened in Marcia's childhood. This personal crisis triggers a nightmare of self-despite and despair. Reliving the past splits her focus and her personality into three. Will she regain control of herself enough to become one again?Marcia is trapped in a loveless marriage.
Her hopes of saving the marriage by having a child are dashed when the baby is born faceless and dies. Shame, hurt and despair become warring factions within herself that threaten to split her personality into three. Worn out by it all she retreats further and further until her refuge becomes a wasteland of frozen hopelessness. Nights full of awful dreams are followed by days full of upsetting dimensions that make her question her sanity.
Unable to give up she crawls doggedly through one nightmare memory after another until she comes out the other end. There she manages to put the past to rest. Eyes of Darkness is the first book in a miniseries of three psychological thrillers on the theme of recovery from trauma.
