Where do you turn when the watching eyes are everywhere? Where do you go when no place is safe? Who do you turn to when saying anything could get someone killed? Who can you trust when "they" could be anyone?
Robyn Lockhart liked her simple but predictable life in the small Iowa town she grew up in. But when her mother moves them to the big city, Robyn has no choice but to brave the tumultuous high school she's thrust into. Then, with barely a blink and as an outsider looking in, Robyn begins asking questions that no one seems willing to face. Is it possible to stay silent while simultaneously shouting from the rooftops that something is deadly wrong? And if you shout, beyond those watching every move you make, who will even hear?

HER
The book HER is based on true events that has happened in my life, although events have been dramatized for the sake of the read please read with caution. Trigger Warnings: Mentions of Sexual Abuse of a Minor; Child Neglect; Parentification; Violence; and Stalking. HER They say you can measure a person's intent in the first glance, a primal instinct meant for survival. But they never warn you that for the right person-the wrong person-you will gladly saw off that limb just to feel the trap snap shut. You will silence every screaming alarm bell for the chance to let them burn your world to the ground. I knew, with a certainty that was cellular, the instant my eyes found them. They were not just people, they were an event horizon. A beautiful, inescapable end to the life I knew. Their intentions, good or ill, were irrelevant. They were a force, and my purpose was to be reshaped. But my most vivid memory, seared into me sharper than any fear or premonition, is the singular, devastating thought that eclipsed all others. Yes. Whatever they plan to do, however they plan to break me, I will not just allow it. I will thank them. I would plead for them to do it again.
