Lena's mother, Annabel, has always been a mystery—a ghost in Lena's past. Until now.Discover her secrets in Lauren Oliver's brilliant original digital story set in the world of New York Times bestsellers Delirium and Pandemonium. Lena Halloway's mother, Annabel, supposedly committed suicide when Lena was only six years old. That's the lie that Lena grew up believing, but the truth is very different. As a rebellious teenager, Annabel ran away from home and straight into the man she knew she was destined to marry. The world was different then—the regulations not as stringent, the cure only a decade old. Fast forward to the present, and Annabel is consigned to a dirty prison cell, where she nurtures her hope of escape and scratches one word over and over into the walls: Love. But Annabel, like Lena, is a fighter. Through chapters that alternate between her past and present, Annabel reveals the story behind her failed cures, her marriage, the births of her children, her imprisonment, and, ultimately, her daring escape.

"This was a pretty fantastic addition to the Delirium trilogy. Lena's mother was always a big mystery : even after reading Requiem, I still had a lot of questions about her. This story answered a lot of them and helped explain even more. I really enjoyed Annabel's perspective. However, there was one thing that kind of... I don't know...bugged me I guess and that was that it seemed that Annabel loved Lena more than Rachel, her other daughter. She compared the two daughters often and made Lena appear better, sweeter, and cuter than Rachel. At one point, she said something that made it sound like she had kind of given up on Rachel since she had already been cured. Well other than that one thing, I really loved this story :) It was a wonderful story."
