Carlen Sanders thought leaving would be the hardest part.
She was wrong.
Running from an abusive relationship gives her distance, but not freedom. In a small town far from the life she barely survived, Carlen tries to rebuild herself piece by fragile piece—learning how to sleep without fear, how to trust her instincts again, how to exist without shrinking. Healing comes slowly, unevenly, marked by nightmares, quiet moments of courage, and the steady presence of people who refuse to let her disappear.
When a kind, patient man offers her something she never expected. Carlen must face the question she’s avoided the is she ready to be seen again, or does survival mean standing alone?
Told over the changing seasons, this intimate, emotionally charged novella explores domestic violence, recovery, and the complicated path toward peace. It is a story about reclaiming autonomy, choosing softness after harm, and discovering that safety can be real—and deserved.
Raw yet hopeful, unflinching yet tender, Consignment is a testament to survival, sisterhood, and the quiet power of choosing yourself.
Perfect for readers who appreciate emotionally resonant women’s fiction, trauma-informed romance, and stories where healing is earned, not rushed.
