She was once engaged to a man who never truly cared for her-but she's been hiding a secret from everyone.
A dangerous secret.
It's the summer of 1852, and Kate is an 18-year-old girl living on her family's plantation. Her future has already been decided for her-an arranged marriage to a man she does not love. Surrounded by expectations, control, and a life she never chose, Kate begins to question everything.
She has never been one to hide her thoughts... until now.
Because this secret could change everything.
As her feelings grow stronger and the truth threatens to come to light, Kate is forced to face impossible choices. Will she give up on true love to follow the life laid out for her-or risk everything for a chance at freedom?
Will she fall... or stand strong?
Will she choose love... or be consumed by fear?
Will her choices lead her to the right path-or destroy everything she knows?
One thing is certain-Kate can't stay silent forever.

You made me hate myself for something that was never my fault. You have caused me so much pain and suffering," I pause to take a deep breath.
