I came home early from a business trip to surprise my husband. But he wasn’t in the house. I found him in our backyard, frantically digging a hole next to a massive, glossy black egg.

But on my wedding day, moments before I walked down the aisle, Evan pulled me aside, his face pale with fear.

My fiancé’s brother, Dylan, was a monster who had harassed me for years. We banned him from our wedding, but my in-laws gave us an ultimatum: if he wasn’t invited, they wouldn’t come. Reluctantly, I agreed. On my wedding day, I was in the bridal suite, moments from walking down the aisle, when the door opened. It was Dylan.

As a school principal, I grew concerned when I saw a quiet 9-year-old girl secretly collecting leftover food every day. I knew there was more to her story. So, I followed her after school. She didn’t go home. Instead, she walked to a crumbling, abandoned house at the edge of town. I watched from my car as she placed the food she’d gathered into the rusted mailbox.
