Overview

A mother's silence. A daughter's survival. A truth that can no longer stay buried.When seven-year-old Nia is left behind in the Caribbean, she never imagines how deeply the separation will scar her. Her mother flees to New York to escape an abusive, drug-addicted husband-promising to send for her daughters when life becomes stable. Eight years later, Nia and her sister reunite with a woman who feels more like a stranger than a parent. Cold. Closed-off. Emotionally distant. Love is no longer spoken-it's swallowed. In this new world, Nia grows up invisible, longing for warmth and belonging. So when Marcus-charming, older, intense-gives her attention, she clings to it. What begins as affection quickly turns into obsession. Isolation. Control. Manipulation. Violence. Nia becomes trapped in a dangerous cycle she doesn't know how to escape. And one night, when Marcus's rage turns deadly, a single desperate act changes her life forever. Marcus is dead. Nia is charged. And the world wants to decide if she's a criminal... or a survivor. Thrown into a courtroom battle that forces her to confront childhood wounds, generational silence, and the mother who never learned to love out loud, Nia must finally step into the truth she's run from her entire life. She didn't kill for revenge. She fought to live. Survival is not a crime.
