She swore she'd never become her mother. But some legacies refuse to let go.
Sally's childhood wasn't a childhood at all. Cold nights in the backseat of a car. Empty cupboards. A mother who disappeared when she was needed most. By twelve, she was the one holding the family together―barely.
Years later, Sally does the unthinkable―the one thing people say no mother should ever do. But what if it was the only way to protect her children?
So she let them go.
Now the past is circling back. One of the children she gave up is standing on her doorstep. And with her return come the questions Sally has tried her whole life not to answer.
Is survival the same as love? And can the damage we do ever be undone?
A raw and emotionally charged psychological thriller, Reasons is part of the When Bad Things Happen series―gripping tales of ordinary women, impossible choices, and the haunting cost of survival.
