For Makena, life is a quiet navigation of grief and unspoken fears, especially around a truth she barely dares to name. But everything shifts the day a single word, searched with trembling hands, cracks something open. Suddenly, she's drawn into stories she can't unread, stories that awaken a love she was taught to fear.
Then comes Aziza.
With eyes that make Makena forget every rule she's written to protect herself, Aziza is everything she fears... and secretly longs for.
Now, Makena must make a decision: to embrace a love that feels like both salvation and betrayal, or to retreat into the lonely safety of denial.
Echoes is a story of quiet defiance, of finding healing in unexpected places, and of a love so profound it just might rewrite everything Makena thought she knew about faith, family, and herself.
