The first book in a 4-book series. Emma St. Roman reflects over her life after having a drunk-driving accident. As the story moves through four parts (childhood, the incident, young-adulthood, and the accident), Standing in the Corridor, between life and death, Emma speaks with a mysterious Gentleman who knows the things she has worked hard to hide; but Emma is ready for someone to see beneath her mask. Tired of running from dark shadows that crept through walls in the night, He offered to help her be free of it all—if only she was willing to admit her very last secret.
