Raven spent most of the drive home telling herself that this bizarre obsession that Charles Whitman had been involved in her disappearance was finished. She’d seen his house and even his barn. There were at least three people who worked there on a regular basis according to the caretaker.

No way, the senator could have kept her captive and those men not known about it. Plus, the barn wasn’t a rickety old thing at all, but modern and elaborate. It was not her prison.

It was time to let go, but what if…what if her kidnapper had another woman? How could she let go of that? Weren’t all women her neighbors? So, OK, she could agree that Charles Whitman, III wasn’t her kidnapper.

But someone was.

And that someone could hurt other women. How could she just forget that? And yet, there was nothing she could do at this point. Raven shook her head. What was the right thing to do?

God had good plans for her. She needed to cooperate with God by letting go of the past and move forward. She had friends. Of course, she might wish one of them was more than a friend, but Hunter had made it clear that wasn’t what he wanted. Still, friends were good. She was closer to Amanda than she’d ever been. And her two little nieces were the light of her life.

And there might be a bakery in her future. She daydreamed about that bakery. It really did seem like a good fit for her. And for Lydia.

Her life was moving forward. It was time to stop looking in the rearview mirror of her life. If she ever remembered the monster’s face, then she could do something to stop him.

When she got back home to Charm, Raven found a box on her porch. She grinned as she lugged the box in the house. A few moments later, she pulled out a book.

Unsinkable by Jane Doe.

Happy tears rolled down her cheeks. She was thrilled. It didn’t have her name on it, but Raven knew it was her book and that was enough. She’d be the only one to know. Not Hunter or Gracie. Not even her sister. God had wanted her to do this, but she didn’t like baring her soul to anyone.

They would be so happy for her if they knew. But if they knew, they would read the book. And if they read the book, they’d know her most secret thoughts. She didn’t mind sharing her secret thoughts with strangers but with family? Friends? It seemed too personal.

What was it Gracie had said last week during their session? Something about if one kept secrets from those around them, it meant that they either didn’t feel what they were doing was the right thing, or one didn’t trust them.

But that wasn’t true.

Raven was sure the book had been the right thing to do. It had been therapy for her. And she certainly trusted her family and her friends. Then why was she keeping the book a secret? She sighed and brushed the thought aside.
