Samara is like every young woman trying to make it on her own: lonely because she's far from home, determined to succeed and taking on too big of a challenge, and hoping to prove she deserves the chance she was given. This is especially true in the cutthroat world of fashion design, so she tries to market a collection for a fashion show in just over two months. This puts her into volatile Antonio's path constantly, and she willfully ignores the odd things that occur. Antonio and those like him prey upon those looking up to him, taking in and internalizing the abuse. This stressful work environment also contains a haunting, one that continues until Samara and the reader realize the truth. The careful avoidance crashes down in the finale, and we understand the past of the town as well as what Samara was trying to forget. It's sad, and I hope their future is a better one.
