Following the birth of her first child, Cordelia Waters suffers from a severe postpartum psychosis. When six months later, her baby goes missing, Cordelia becomes the prime suspect. Cordelia Waters appears to have the perfect life---a thriving career, a loving marriage to Weston, and a spacious home in the suburbs. United in their ambitions, Cordelia and Weston have always agreed on everything, especially on choosing a child-free existence. That harmony shatters when Cordelia unexpectedly learns she is pregnant. While Weston embraces fatherhood with joy, Cordelia's world is upended by the reality she never wanted. ​Six months after the birth of their daughter Emerald, tragedy strikes: Emerald vanishes from her crib without a trace. As the search unfolds, unsettling questions arise. What happened to Emerald? Why does Cordelia struggle to recall the events of that morning? Suspicion builds as Cordelia's story unravels, and Weston fears the worst---that his wife, battling her own instability, may be responsible for the disappearance. ​Facing mounting pressure and desperate to clear her name, Cordelia launches her own investigation into Emerald's disappearance. She knows that proving her innocence is her only hope. But as the authorities dig deeper, long buried secrets resurface, and Cordelia's grip on reality is tested. Soon, everyone---Weston, the police, and even Cordelia herself---begins to question what is true and what is imagined. ​This psychological suspense novel explores motherhood, marriage, memory, and the complexities of mental health, weaving an intense narrative that challenges every assumption Cordelia---and the reader---holds.

[1] The Fighter (Finnick Odair) [1] -- The rewrite of this story. The Granite family have no luck in life. They constantly battle every day struggles of living in District 5 as well as the constant fears of the Hunger Games. Three of the five children entered the Hunger Games and none of them survived. When Luke, the only living son survived his games the family were overjoyed. But the threat of the youngest was constant. They were terrified that something would happen. No one wanted her to be entered in the games in fear it would ruin her innocence. She only had two entries years. Would she make it through or would she be reaped in the games? "Us Granite's we don't grow attached, less people get hurt that way. I'd rather love no one than watch the ones I love suffer" "No one is ever truly prepared for the hunger games, not even the careers. I'll tell you why because no two games are ever the same" "Some people believe that admitting your scared or nervous means your weak but it really means your human" "Expect the unexpected because I have nothing to lose. I'm not afraid of death because everybody is going to die someday. I just don't plan on dying soon" (This Book takes place in the 72nd Games and leads up to events before Catching Fire. There will be changes. Also People are allowed to travel around Panem, by Train, but it costs a lot of money, so only rich people, mainly Victors travel).
