For most of my life I had been in the grips of deep sleep, unaware of what was taking place around me and totally unaware of what was on the other side of the door. I was fearfully stuck between conscious and unconscious, but the strange part about it was that no one seemed to notice. I was going about my business running to and from like everyone else, but mindless of what I was doing and mindless of what I was missing. But then, something unexpected occurred. In the middle of the night, while in the grips of unconscious sleep, a knock sharply echoed from my door. Then another much louder knock, then another, and yet another, until I had no choice but to awaken and answer the door."
... Introduction taken from 'When the Night Comes Creeping' by author A. J. Royse.

The life of A. J. Royse has been anything but boring or mundane. She has experienced things which have stretched her mind and personality, making her sit up and take notice of the all-too-often hidden aspects of life. Her journey has been altering, sobering, inspiring and uplifting to a degree which has changed her entire life.

As the story line of the book unfolds, Royse finds herself in the midst of a strange and overwhelming illness, one which separates her from the influences of the outside world. But in due time, she finds that her solitude turns out to be the most fulfilling and least alone time of her life. If you like the unexpected, you're going to love this book.
