Shrive

Did Katie finally snap—or did something darker follow her home?

Katie fought hard to leave her abusive childhood behind. Now she has the life she once thought impossible: a successful journalism career in New York, a family of her own, and a husband whose work as a renowned psychiatrist is grounded in reason.

Then a thrill-seeking magazine sends her on a hiking expedition in Hawaii with a man carrying a painful past of his own.

Katie comes home different.

Her behavior grows cruel and unpredictable, and the darkness she thought she had escaped begins closing in on everyone around her. When Katie puts her son in danger, the people closest to her realize they can no longer wait and hope she gets better.

Her husband believes trauma has finally broken her. But Katie has been haunted by her past since the day she killed her father, and another possibility is becoming harder to ignore.

To protect her family and save Katie from herself, those who love her must confront an impossible question: are they witnessing a psychological collapse, or a spiritual darkness no diagnosis can explain?

Shrive is a dark, faith-infused psychological thriller about trauma, guilt, forgiveness, and the battle for one woman’s mind and soul.
