Eighteen-year-old LAPD rookie Fiona Blackwood has spent her entire life surviving. Rescued from a trafficking ring at fourteen after years of unimaginable abuse, she fought through the foster care system, homelessness, and a painful custody battle to build a life for herself and her five-year-old daughter, Rose.
At Mid-Wilshire Division, Fiona is simply known as the unusually mature rookie who never talks about her past. Her fellow officers have no idea she's a mother, that she once worked alongside Homeland Security, or that every child abuse call hits closer to home than anyone realizes.
As Fiona slowly earns the respect and friendship of her fellow officers, anonymous messages and unsettling reminders begin to appear. Someone from the trafficking network she escaped may have found her again.
Determined to protect the peaceful life she's built, Fiona must decide how long she can keep her secrets hidden before the past threatens everything she loves.
A slow-burn, emotional The Rookie fanfiction about resilience, found family, motherhood, healing, and discovering that sometimes the hardest battle isn't surviving the past... it's trusting others to help you face it.
