Shattered Trust

In the isolated, icy landscape of Fairbanks, Alaska, a driven and overachieving young woman navigates the pressures of her tightly controlled life. At the heart of this quiet town, she's a model of success-excelling in school or work, balancing the demands of her career, and maintaining a long-term relationship with her seemingly perfect boyfriend. Beneath the surface, however, she's overwhelmed by the high expectations she sets for herself and the emotional distance creeping into her relationship.
Her carefully managed world begins to unravel when her compassionate and clumsy sister moves in after a rough patch, disrupting the protagonist's sense of order. The difference between their lifestyle contrast in a negative light; nothing could prepare the protagonist for the devastating discovery that shatters her life: her boyfriend has been unfaithful with her sister. Heartbroken and betrayed, she spirals into emotional chaos, distancing herself from her once-controlled life and sinking into self-sabotage.
As her personal and professional life begins to fall apart, the protagonist meets a man three years her senior, who offers her patience, kindness, and a chance to heal. Slowly, she starts to rebuild her life, reconnecting with herself and setting new boundaries with those who've hurt her. Just as she begins to find peace, a shocking revelation from her sister threatens to break her again.
