The Girl Who Hid

After a traumatic incident, Riley Noah was sent away by her family to a boarding school for delinquents. After 14 years' separation, she has graduated and is sent home back to the people she distrusts the most. She returned with a lot more trauma than she left with, with no one to turn to, no place she feels safe. She must navigate being back at the place she once felt safe in, but where she constantly feels on guard and scared. Will her brothers see their little sister again without seeing a monster? Will they ever be able to stop hating her? And will her father be able to converse with her, or will he keep ignoring her?

Carson Graham has known his best friend, Arlo Noah, for the better part of four years. One random Wednesday, Arlo's mysterious little sister shows up at their door. The same little sister that Carson didn't even know existed- it was like she never even existed. There were no photo's or mention of her- ever- in the 4 years that Carson and Arlo have been friends. So why was he so curious about this girl? To the Noah family, family is the most important, so why did they treat this girl so unimportantly?

Follow Riley on her journey of pain, suffering, resentment, healing, forgiveness, and love. Will Carson be able to stay away from her, just like she hides from the world? Will Riley ever trust anyone ever again? And will she ever have the happy ending her 5-year-old self dreamed of?
