Some people will do anything for family. Even kill for it…
When Sophia, a wealthy woman far from home, meets Rebecca, a struggling nurse and mother, at a paint-and-sip class in New York, their friendship unfolds just as you might expect.
The lonely outsider finds her place. The overwhelmed mother gets the help she desperately needs. The two women save each other.
But that’s only the beginning.
The first time Sophia reads Rebecca’s journal, it’s curiosity. The next time, it’s desperation.
Because she’s realized she’s not the only one in this house with secrets…
A dark, twisting domestic thriller for fans of Freida McFadden and Jeneva Rose, about the people we trust, and the ones who destroy us.
About the Author
I grew up believing in magic.
Every fairytale was real, palm readings were gospel and ghosts lurked in the space between twilight & dawn. Surrounded by the shimmer of Evergreen trees in a mossy Seattle suburb, I stitched costumes for the school play, edited the yearbook and wrote politically charged poetry for our student literary magazine.
As an adult, I've lived all over the United States which gives me a unique American perspective that flows into my writing. Many of my pieces have a strong Southern theme, but I also like to dabble in the strange, the bizarre and the fantastical.
I currently reside in Florida-- nestled between the Everglades and the Atlantic Ocean. If I'm not writing, you can find me and the fam planning our next adventure. WEBSITE
