The whole world has been on lockdown since the start of the pandemic. And now that a vaccine has become readily available to the public, it is time for McCall Harris to take that long-awaited writing retreat. McCall is a twenty-something receptionist by day, writer by night, and long-time sufferer of anxiety and depression, thanks to the man who randomly attacked her on her sixteenth birthday. After years of therapy and medication, McCall is ready to put her past behind her to focus on becoming the next best-selling author.

Hazelhurst Manor – a remote and historic Victorian bed-and-breakfast in the mountains of Maine – is just the place McCall needs as inspiration to write her next book, and to possibly find that confident, courageous girl she used to be who did not depend on medication to get through the day.

But when she learns the truth about who…or what is running the B&B, McCall realizes the success of her retreat will depend upon her survival.
