Somewhere between the mysterious world of Baltimore's theater scene and the excitement of the Colts' sidelines, ten-year-old Dolly is lost in a world of hurt and rejection. With the heartbreak of a tragic accident, new questions and fears come, but, like everything else, those fears remain hidden. Life brings love, personal achievement, concerns, and joys, but every scene is played out against a backdrop of fear. For seventeen long years, she is haunted by anxiety and depression, until one day a new friend offers hope . . . a hope that sets her free.
