Yellowstone: The Silence Between Screams
Cassidy was a ghost before the Duttons found her-barely seventeen, all scars and silence, with no record of her existence before age five. She doesn't speak of where she came from. But when Rip Wheeler stumbles across her on the edge of the ranch, bleeding and half-conscious, he brings her back-against every instinct but one: protect her.
What begins as a reluctant act of mercy turns into something deeper as the Duttons start unraveling the truth. Cassidy's file, pulled by Jamie, reveals a history soaked in horror-sealed hospital records, sterilization at thirteen, SA reports, forced silence by the system, and a father among her abusers. She was supposed to disappear. She didn't.
Now, the Dutton Ranch becomes more than just a place to heal. It becomes a battleground for Cassidy's survival, and maybe... her redemption.
But healing isn't quiet. It's angry. It's raw. And it's coming for everyone who ever hurt her.
