From the back cover
After the birth of her son, Elara is swallowed by a darkness the doctors call postpartum depression. Her husband Chiwetel stays by her side, but his patience frays, and his attention drifts to Lena, the woman from his phone. When Lena appears at their door, she and Chiwetel move together like a family, pushing Elara aside.
Searching for a way out, Elara finds a vial of poison and swallows it. As her life flashes before her, she recalls the IVF, the birth, and the night Chiwetel did not come home. Then she sees Lena's post: a tangle of sheets, his hand in hers, and the names inked on their skin. A call from the hospital brings worse news, and the truth of her marriage is waiting in the county records.
At the company gala, Lena stands at Chiwetel's side while every whisper turns toward Elara.
Inside the book Opening excerpt
1
The birth of his son fractured something in me. They called it postpartum depression—a sterile name for the suffocating darkness that swallowed me whole. Many nights, I’d stand at the open window, pulled by the empty air, and every time, he’d drag me back. “It’s okay,” he’d whisper. “We’re here. We won’t leave you.”
For three years, I fought not to hurt anyone. Until our son’s hungry screams echoed my failure, and I hid in the bathroom, swallowing sleeping pills.
