The Awakening

Forensic psychiatrist, Isabella Porter, believes that scars have a story to tell… and the scars on Ember O'Reilly, age 11, are no exception. When Isabella finds that the child’s case suspiciously echoes her own horrific past, she is forced to walk a delicate line: a line that pushes the boundaries of her lawful involvement. When Ember’s own family wishes her dead, how can Isabella save the young girl’s life? How can she stop the rape and torture of other girls, when she couldn’t so much as save herself all those years ago? Luckily for Ember, Isabella is no longer that vulnerable fourteen-year-old girl; she’s a force to be reckoned with, and she won’t be anyone’s victim. ***Content may be triggering to some readers***
