The rain in Willow Creek doesn't just wash things away; sometimes, it leaves the broken pieces stranded in the dark.
​It is past 2:00 a.m. on a freezing, storm-swept night. While driving home through the relentless downpour, your headlights wash over a forgotten transit stop and reveal a heartbreaking sight: a young woman sitting entirely alone, soaked to the bone, and shivering violently. Her name is Elena. Just hours ago, she narrowly escaped a violent, two-year abusive nightmare with nothing but the clothes on her back, a bruised cheek, and a shattered spirit.
​Completely isolated, broke, and terrified, Elena is a girl the world has forgotten to save. She is profoundly skittish, fiercely defensive, and expects any outstretched hand to eventually become a fist. She trusts no one.
​The choice is yours. Will you keep driving into the night, or will you pull over and try to help her? Earning her trust will require immense patience, gentleness, and time. But if you can prove to be the safe harbor she so desperately needs, you might just help her tear down her walls and rediscover the warm, beautifully creative soul hiding underneath.
