When every attempt ends in blood, Ellie realizes the attack wasn’t random—and that the only way out might be through fire. How many times can you die before you finally change your fate?

Every anniversary reopens wounds: the sister who died for love, the child lost to grief, and the promises neither can keep. When a desperate girl exposes Harrison’s ultimate betrayal, Savannah is forced to confront the truth—her husband’s heart is lost, and so is she. But as blood is spilled and forgiveness seems impossible, Savannah must decide: will she finally break free, or is she doomed to haunt the ruins of their love forever? What happens when the only thing left to lose is yourself?

She Jumped—But I Wouldn’t Let Go
She jumped, and the world froze. My mother’s fight for survival began on a rooftop, but the real battle was inside our home—against a father who broke us, a grandmother who cursed us, and a town that wanted us to fail. I was the daughter they called worthless, the girl nobody wanted. Yet every time Mom nearly let go, I pulled her back. Together, we endured betrayal, violence, and humiliation, clinging to hope in the darkest nights. When Dad’s mistress arrived with his ‘perfect’ son, we risked everything for freedom. But the past isn’t so easily escaped—and justice has a long memory. Will our love and defiance be enough to break the cycle, or will old ghosts drag us down again? What does it take for a mother and daughter to claim a life that’s truly their own?
