She watched the world from her window, always too scared to step outside. Then one miraculous day at that window, a day she'd never forget, she saw a toddler wander into the middle of the often busy street.
Without thinking, she ran to save him.
As she held the boy, she felt a protective strength she never knew she had. She no longer felt like a prisoner for the first time in many years. She unexpectedly conquered agoraphobia.
By saving someone else, she was saved. From that day on, she embraced every opportunity to step out of her comfort zone.

The Spring
The sun was high when Lance pulled off the road and into the dusty lot of the service station. The sign back at the hairpin--the first sign in a long time--said they just rolled into Hatter’s Creek, Population 63. It was small enough it didn’t appear on the handmap in Shelby’s lap, yet here it stood, the first backwater township on the fringes of the National Park. The plan was to gas up, restock the snack bag, and press on into the wilderness.
