About this audiobook

Dr. Leo Farrow, a physician in New York, begins receiving late-night voicemails from his deceased fourth-grade teacher, Ms. Robbins — a woman who sexually abused him as a child. His best friend Kyle tries to help, but the calls escalate. When Leo finally sees a therapist, Dr. Okonkwo, he suffers a severe panic attack. She helps him uncover that the voicemails aren't new — they've been stored on his phone for thirty years, unheard. The calls were never coming from outside. They were coming from inside his own mind, surfacing after a patient's accusation ("You don't believe me either") triggered buried memories. Leo returns to his abandoned childhood school, confronts the empty classroom, and begins the slow process of accepting what happened to him. The story ends with him deleting a voicemail, making a therapy appointment, and driving into an uncertain morning — the abuse still part of him, but no longer in control.
