The Daughter ᵀʰᵉ ʳᵒᵒᵏⁱᵉ
FAYFAY1256
Growing up in the shadow of a hero, Violet Anderson has never known what it means to be ordinary. As the daughter of the late LAPD Commander Zoe Anderson-whose tragic death in the line of duty sent shockwaves through the entire department-Violet has carried both the weight of her mother's legacy and the quiet ache of her absence.
Smart, determined, and fiercely independent, Violet has always had a sharp instinct for justice and a heart that refuses to stay silent. But behind her strong exterior is a girl still searching for where she belongs-a girl haunted by the echoes of a life that ended too soon.
Everything changes when the person who should have protected her most-her own father-becomes the one she fears. As the abuse at home escalates, Violet finds herself slipping further into isolation, the walls closing in. She's too afraid to speak up, too proud to ask for help. Until one desperate afternoon leads her back to the old LAPD station where her mother once worked.
What starts as a quiet visit turns into something far more life-altering.
In the worn halls of the precinct, Violet uncovers pieces of her mother's past she never knew existed-files, recordings, secrets long buried. And someone there remembers Zoe Anderson. Someone who sees the fire in Violet's eyes, the strength that mirrors her mother's. For the first time, she isn't invisible.
Now, Violet is faced with a choice: keep surviving in silence, or step into the light and fight-for truth, for justice, and for herself.
Because legacy isn't just about who you come from.
It's about who you choose to become.
