Karen Elliott’s life has spiralled out of control. Years of self-medicating with alcohol have cost her dearly; her job, her family’s trust, and now even her grip on reality. When a drunken incident pushes her over the edge, Karen is forced to confront the harrowing truth about herself.
Sent to a rehabilitation clinic against her will, Karen must face exorcisms of her past like never before. Memories resurface that she’d give anything to stay buried. With each new session chipping away at her defences, Karen fears what demons may be unearthed.
As painful revelations come to light, Karen risks losing not just her sobriety but everything she holds dear. With ghosts of the past clawing to drag her under, will she find the inner strength to stay afloat? Or will her addiction finally drag her under?
A heart-wrenching and intensely suspenseful story of addiction, recovery and facing deep-seated trauma. If you liked Blood Orange by Harriet Tyce, you'll love this book!
