The Dorm (The Beginning) is the first book in a series. LA based artist Candace McCoy must delve into a painful past before she can move towards her future. The only thing standing between her and happiness is a deep, dark secret she harbors five years after attending a prestigious university. She is tormented by sleepless nights in which the image of a woman shrouded in a cloak, limps up and down the corridors of the Dorm. Candace fled the dorm in the still hours of a climactic night, but not before she was able to save her best friends. The horrors she thought she'd left behind in the Dorm, follow her across the ocean to sunny Southern California five years later and she discovers that the evil forces that terrorized her still walk the earth.
