She satisfies every box. The partner-track career. The engineered home. The daughter who inherited her razor-sharp ambition. For 30 years, Victoria built a fortress no one could touch. But now the walls are starting to crumble.
When a devastating diagnosis shatters the only identity she's ever known, Victoria is forced to confront everything she's spent a lifetime outrunning: the parents whose sacrifices she never understood, the husband hiding behind his own polished mask, and the daughter who learned to measure love in billable hours.
Healing isn't linear. Forgiveness isn't guaranteed. And the hardest case Victoria has ever taken on is her own life.
A literary fiction novel that will make you call your mother, hold your loved ones closer, and ask yourself what you've been too afraid to put down.
