A Love That Transcends Time
At the heart of "Know My Own Heart" lies the passionate love between Alice and David, two souls destined to meet amidst the turmoil of war. Their undeniable connection ignites a flame that burns brightly, defying the obstacles that threaten to tear them apart. As the story unfolds, we witness the enduring power of love, its ability to sustain hope and overcome adversity.
The Sting of Betrayal
However, the path of true love is not without its thorns. A devastating betrayal casts a dark shadow over Alice and David's relationship, threatening to extinguish the flame that once burned so fiercely. The sting of betrayal cuts deep, leaving wounds that time cannot easily heal. Through Alice's eyes, we experience the anguish of a heart torn apart, the struggle to reconcile the love she once knew with the pain that now consumes her.
The Quest for Redemption
In the wake of betrayal, Alice embarks on a quest for redemption.

Through her interactions with a diverse cast of characters, she discovers the true meaning of forgiveness and the possibility of healing.
