What if your past wasnтАЩt what you thought?
As a child, Linda Russell was left to raise herself in a twenty-acre walled-off property in rural Washington. The woods were her home, and for twelve years she lived oblivious to a stark and terrible truth: Her mother had birthed her only to replace another daughter who died in a tragic accident years before.
Then one day Linda witnesses something she wasnтАЩt meant to see. Terrified and alone, she climbs the wall and abandons her home, but her escape becomes a different kind of trap when she is thrust into the modern worldтАФa world for which she is not only entirely unprepared, but which is unprepared to accept her.
And you couldnтАЩt see a future for yourself?
Years later,┬аLinda is living in┬аbustling Seattle, but she has never felt more alone. With social media more ubiquitous than ever before,┬аshe is hounded by the society she is now forced to inhabit. When Linda meets a fascinating new neighbor who might just be a potential friend,┬аand who shows her the possibility of a new escape through virtual reality, she begins to allow herself to hope for more┬аby being sucked into a world that feels safe, but isnтАЩt real.
┬а
What would it take to reclaim your life?
┬а
Then an unexplained fire at her infamous childhood home┬аjolts Linda back to reality. She must return to the property for the first time since she was a girl, unleashing a chain of events that will not only endanger her life but challenge her understanding of family, memory, and the world itself.
