Lillian Ahenkan's hypothesis: anyone can create a unique formula for their own personal success. The one-size-fits-all approach to 'your best life' is outdated - you can do better. You don't have to be exceptional (or even the exception) to be successful. You just need to learn the algorithm.

And here she shows that her experience hasn't been a fluke.

From the very first moment I meet Elliot Bramblewick, I have hope. But he’s tricky. I’m not expecting him to be hiding two other mates.

The play does not continue past opening night, however, for a member of the cast is killed in a car accident.... Or was it an accident? Koko seems to suspect otherwise.

Crime scene to crime scene I go, interview upon interview I question, and it all yields nothing but more questions, more media attention, and the sound of a voice on the phone. A voice that haunts me late into the night with a yearning to taste the forbidden. The man the media calls the "Vigilante" is supposed to be my prey, but instead we dance. Every possible step closer, he evades. Only his faceless taunts close the distance between us. I can barely catch my breath. Then the copycat killings begin, and I struggle to hold my grip on the truth.

Millions of Americans suffer from depression, anxiety, and a host of other mental health issues, and many get psychiatric help. For many of those patients, medication is a necessary part of treatment. But pharmaceuticals are not a cure-all.
