From The Book

“As you enter Hope’s raw, splintered memories, let her pain—so deep she is 'past feeling'—call you to stand against the systems that allowed her voice, and her very sense of reality, to be slowly and methodically erased.”


“Identity theft doesn’t always involve a stolen name—it can be the slow, silent erasure of a person’s worth, agency, and future. This isn’t just a personal tragedy; it’s a systemic collapse that allows abusers to rewrite the lives of their victims.”

“Hope slipped back into the small room as Violet led her son and Service Dog down the stairwell back to the batterer she'd fled from.”
