   Summary

   Chloe's life is not easy.

   Even when life piles things on to the breaking point, though, Chloe doesn't break - she gets angry, she gets unvarnished, she gets destructive, but she doesn't break.

   Eventually, she learns that her suffering had a point, and her life a meaning, even if the journey to her purpose is full of obstacles, setbacks, and pain - and that sense of purpose has made it all worth it.
