Tomorrow Beyond the Truth comes out, and I’m more nervous about this one than I ever was with the first book.
The Lies We Whisper felt lighter compared to what I wrote this time. Beyond the Truth is trauma, healing, more trauma, and the fallout that hits a family long after the worst moment is over. This book wasn’t easy for me. It pushed me harder than anything I’ve written.
I cried writing this.
My heart raced after certain scenes.
Some nights I couldn’t fall asleep because the emotions were still sitting in my chest.
Sometimes I had to stop because my adrenaline was too high from what I put on the page.
The pain in this book is real.
The healing is real.
And some of it came from places I didn’t expect.
Hanna broke me while I wrote her.
This book didn’t go where I first thought it would—it became something else entirely. Maybe it needed to. Maybe the story wanted to come out exactly like this. Maybe someone out there needs to hear that it’s okay to feel broken, confused, scared, numb… and still keep going.
If you read this book tomorrow, thank you.
Thank you for trusting me with something so heavy.
Thank you for trusting Hanna’s story.
Beyond the Truth isn’t just a thriller.
It’s me putting something honest on the page.
It’s the parts of trauma people don’t talk about.
It’s the quiet survival no one sees.
If you need this story, I hope it finds you.
If you’ve lived pieces of it, I hope you feel seen.
