Mae Turner knows what it costs to lose a child to the Children's Court.
She also knows what it costs to get one back.
After reclaiming her son from the institution that nearly destroyed her family, Mae believes the nightmare is finally over.
But she is wrong.
Coerced into serving as a probation officer for the very court that once took Simon from her, Mae has only one choice: obey-or risk losing him again.
Determined to spare other families her fate, Mae resolves to do her job fairly and protect the children placed in her care.
But the Children's Court has survived for years by destroying those who challenge it.
As Mae uncovers falsified testimony, predetermined rulings, and powerful men willing to sacrifice children to protect their own interests, she realizes the system was never designed to deliver justice.
It was designed to protect itself.
And when the court begins using her own son against her, Mae realizes that surviving the system may cost her the very family she fought to save.
Because some systems cannot be changed from within.
They can only change you.
Compelled by Intent is the second novel in the Stolen By Order series, a sweeping historical suspense saga about corruption, motherhood, and the price of fighting a system determined to break you.
