Blurb:
She once confessed to something she can’t remember—now she must uncover whether it was the truth, a lie she believed, or a memory they put there.
Rowan Lake arrives at the Blackwell Estate, hoping for clarity.
A place for healing. A second chance. But something feels wrong.
The staff are too calm. The guests, too quiet. The silence presses in.
She begins therapy. The sessions run deep. Too deep.
Old memories surface. Fragments. Confessions.
Voices she doesn’t recognize. Except they are her own.
She sees herself on videotape. Saying things she doesn’t remember.
Doing things she swears she never did.
Nicholas, the estate’s manager, remembers her from before.
He once tried to protect her.
Now he’s caught in something he can’t control.
He warns her to stop digging. But it may already be too late.
The retreat is watching her. Recording her. Rewriting her.
There’s a hidden archive. Dozens of tapes. Rowan finds them. Each one worse than the last.
Then she finds the missing one. The final confession.
A record of what they made her say. And what they made her forget.
She has to remember what they erased.
Before someone makes her forget—permanently.
