The Monsters Within: The Heart of Darkness

By Dawnell Jacobs

Imani was a young woman left alone to mourn the death of her mother. She was left with a deep void for family and acceptance. Her world seemed to possess very little purpose until she met Andrew, an 11 year old boy with a crush and a deadly father. Imani, with tumultuous childhood memories of her own, tries to save Andrew, his sister and his mother from their abusive father. However, she quickly learns that she is too late, and she finds herself pulled into a family of dark secrets and betrayal. As Imani lays beneath Andrew's drunken father and he pounds himself against her limp body, she realizes that monsters are not just demons that hide in closets, or go bump into the night. Monsters are not creepy crawlies that haunt your nightmares. Monsters are very real. They are the people that sit beside you. The ones you love, and the families that occupy a three bedroom apartment downstairs.
