Trish Trottwood lost her daughter in a terrible accident that left her with more unanswered questions than answers. She never believed it was random and spent the last fifteen years searching for the truth. The betrayal she experienced afterwards sent her into darkness and isolation.
After years of learning a new trade and hardening her heart, Trish finds a friend along the way — and a new identity that helps her confront those she believes harmed her family. She knows in her heart what really happened and who was responsible. Now she is on a mission to uncover the proof she needs to bring them to justice and finally find peace.
But when the truth begins to surface, will Trish be ready to accept it?
Can she rediscover belonging and trust again — or will the fear of betrayal keep her guarded forever?
