About this book
When a devastating car accident shatters Abbie's seemingly perfect life, it doesn't just leave her with physical injuries—it cracks open the foundation of everything she thought she knew about her marriage, her family, and herself. Trapped between vivid, unsettling nightmares and a reality that feels increasingly uncertain, Abbie must navigate the wreckage of long-buried secrets while trying to hold together the life she's worked so hard to build. What unfolds is a gripping emotional journey about resilience and rediscovery, as this accomplished surgeon learns that sometimes we need everything to fall apart before we can truly understand what matters most. MacLean weaves suspense and heart into a story about the courage it takes to face hard truths and rebuild trust—especially when the person you have to learn to trust again might be yourself.
