Lies that Bind

She vanished after the crash. A decade later, the truth is finally coming to light.

On a snowy December morning, college freshman Reese Carpenter disappeared from the scene of a car accident that killed her father. There was no sign of her at the wreck—no footprints, no phone, no trace. Just silence.

Ten years later, her mother Eva still clings to hope. When a new neighbor moves in across the street, Eva confides her heartbreak—and sparks something unexpected. Maggie, an investigative journalist stuck in an abusive marriage, sees the mystery as her escape. But what begins as a story quickly becomes something deeper.

As Maggie follows the long-cold trail of a girl who vanished without a trace, she finds herself caught in a storm of secrets, survival, and a truth that could set them both free.

Told through dual timelines, Lies That Bind is an emotional, twist-filled journey about the lies we live with, the truths we run from, and the courage it takes to finally come home.
