Description
On a bright spring afternoon, Ciara Fay makes a split-second choice to protect her two young daughters—leaving behind a life that looks perfect from the outside but feels unsafe in every private moment. As she tries to start over, she confronts the crushing realities of isolation, gaslighting, and a broken support system, while learning how to build stability where none seems to exist. In a hotel that becomes both refuge and battleground, Ciara finds community among other women navigating fear, uncertainty, and the daily work of survival. Meanwhile, her husband’s relentless pursuit forces her to question what “stability” really means—and what it costs to reclaim her own voice. With lyrical immediacy and urgent emotional clarity, Roisín O’Donnell crafts a suspenseful, life-affirming novel about self-determination, resilience, and the fierce, ordinary courage of choosing safety.
