Jessie Sloane is trying to rebuild after years of caregiving, but a flagged social security record triggers a discovery that makes her doubt everything she knows about her past. As she searches for answers, the trail leads into a tangled web of secrets and long-buried choices.

Sleep deprivation and grief blur Jessie’s perception: what is remembered, what is imagined, and what was done long ago? The narrative moves between Jessie’s present-day unraveling and a pivotal incident two decades earlier that may hold the missing pieces.

Sharp, suspenseful and emotionally charged, the novel probes memory, identity and the ways trauma reshapes lives. Readers who enjoy tightly plotted psychological suspense and unreliable perspective will find the mounting tension and unexpected turns rewarding.
