She dwells in seclusion, a fugitive from enemies who will do her harm if she is ever found.

Praise for "Innocence"
"Laced with fantastical mysticism, it's an allegory of nonviolence, acceptance and love in the face of adversity. . . . The narrative is intense, with an old-fashioned ominousness and artistically crafted descriptions. . . . An optimistic and unexpected conclusion mirrors] his theme. Something different this way comes from Mr. Koontz's imagination. Enjoy."--"Kirkus Reviews"
