Some thoughts were never meant to leave the page.
Lydia Mortensen is seventeen and has perfected the art of disappearing.
She is a target at school, where the cruelty never lets up, and invisible at home, where the silence cuts deeper than any insult. The only place she allows herself to exist is in her journal, where every dark thought goes to be locked safely away.
Then her grandmother’s estate passes to her, and with it a house full of things Lydia doesn’t understand. One of them has been waiting for her.
Now the journal doesn’t feel like a cage anymore. It feels like a door. And the voice that has always lived in the darkest corners of her mind is finally being heard.
She wrote it down so she wouldn’t do it.
