In Their Words: “When writing the songs that are on this album, it was never with the notion that people would listen. Writing them was truly a way 'to deal' with the cards I was dealt. It's a beautiful thing to be able to take an intangible pain and have it rise in the form of a melody. For me, it's a great way to heal. Recording these songs, in a way, put an end to a certain chapter of my life. The decision to record the album was made in hopes that others could relate. A shared pain is perhaps more bearable than the feeling that you are alone.” — Stephanie Rice
