Meet the Characters
Brandy | The Toxic Heart
"Hurt, a four letter word with so much power. But that power can easily be destroyed with time along with the will to let it go. Reliving and transference fuels fiery pain. The flames are fed by the refusal to come out of the past and not moving forward with forgiveness and freedom. Holding on to hurt keeps you from living and being grateful for life."
After dealing with abuse in many forms within her own home, Brandy eventually escapes. Yet she carries the weight of the post trauma as she tries to move on with her life. While the world continues to turn, Brandy is stuck wondering if love will give her more than what she received.
