Marianne Clyde is an internationally recognized therapist and bestselling author whose work has empowered women and survivors across the globe to turn trauma into triumph.
"Her debut novel is a must read!"
In Westridge, silence was survival. Until now.
Robin thought her past was buried—until Danny returned and the truth came roaring back. With danger closing in, they must face the corruption that stole their youth and fight for the healing of an entire town.
Part thriller, part love story, this novel is about resilience, second chances, and the courage to speak when silence is no longer an option.
“Courage is contagious.”
