Life’s color turned ashen grey.” (26) Since that day Sarah filled her life with distractions since “[h]er own recurrent yet irrational fears ultimately dispelled her measure of hope.” (29) Each day she “perched on the edge of her king-sized canopy bed, thinking ahead to her day as she did each morning, before she ever skimmed her pedicured feet into lush slippers and plodded across the bedroom suite of her urban town home.” (17)
