After rescuing Beth from Grady, the group travels north to Jersey. But they’re still reeling from death and disappointment and they all need something normal so that they can start living again.


Beth gets taken from Daryl nearly a year earlier at the funeral home. She’s taken to Grady Memorial Hospital but from there she’s taken once more. The people that take her, they’re viscous and vile and they can no longer be considered human in a world like this. She has been gone for a year, more or less, and has had unspeakable things done to her. She soon realizes she’s on her own and takes it upon herself to escape and when she finally succeeds she sets off on her own. She’s broken and a completely different form of herself.
With her family living at Alexandria what will happen when their lives intertwine with hers again. Does she still love them? Will she stay? Is she too broken to even heal and come back to herself? Or will new romances brew as the new Beth continues to surprise herself and others.


Beth didn’t die, in fact she has fought to survive and find her way home. She isn’t scared anymore and the scars on her wrists are a reminder of who she isn’t.
