A suspenseful and sensitive story about a young woman confronting her trauma…no matter how painful and messy.
Resourceful Mackenzie has done everything in her power to leave her past behind—she changed her name, social security number, and abandoned her family wealth.
Sure, she still has to hustle every once in a while to make ends meet and she’s living out of her car, but at least she’s got her freedom. Other parts of her past are trickier to shed. After all, she spent her childhood performing the role of daughter / protégé for the Joseph Edwards—beloved TV mega pastor to the world, but a steel-fisted conman to his family.
Just as she starts a job that may afford her an apartment, Mackenzie’s life is shattered—her mother is murdered and her father confesses to the crime. The media is in a frenzy. And it hits her, after everything she gave up, everything she lost, she never dreamed that she wouldn’t see her mother again. So, nine years after she escaped, Mackenzie returns to Bellingham, WA to confront her father and discover what really happened to her mother.
But home brings back traumas old and new, as well as friendships she thought were long lost. There are dangers behind every truth she uncovers. Her powerful father has powerful friends and she won’t be able to do this alone. Will Mackenzie expose her mother’s real murderer, and will she finally make her father pay for his sins…or will one of those sins end her before she gets the chance?
