Catherine Hope remembers everything—except her ninth year.
At thirty-one, Catherine’s life is fractured by insomnia, a painful breakup, and an elusive memory from her childhood. Known for her sharp mind, she can’t recall why she once went by Catherine-Maria, or why love feels so distant. When a flood destroys her home, Catherine volunteers at a crisis center, only to have a long-buried memory resurface.
As this haunting truth emerges, it shatters her carefully built defenses, forcing her to confront a past she’s tried to forget.
Can Catherine face the truth of what happened, or will it destroy the life she’s tried to rebuild?
