In the aftermath of their own private traumas, two strangers step hesitantly into a support group that promises healing-but delivers something far more complicated.

Millie, a survivor who spends her days advocating for others, can't bring herself to speak openly about her own assault. Peter, living with a chronic autoimmune illness, is exhausted from years of pretending he's "fine." Both arrive at the group reluctantly, expecting awkward silences and forced optimism. Instead, they find each other-a quiet, unexpected connection that feels like the first honest moment either has had in a long time.

But the group's too-polished facilitators and their carefully curated "brave space" may not be what they appear. As Millie and Peter begin to rely on one another, they're drawn deeper into a program where vulnerability is encouraged but boundaries blur-and where the people meant to guide their recovery might be hiding dangerous intentions of their own.

A story about trauma, trust, and the thin line between healing and harm, this book explores what happens when two wounded people choose to navigate the darkness together...and what they discover lurking in the places that promise safety most.
