About this ebook
Naomi Carter-Reed was once a child piano prodigy expected to live on concert stages. Twenty years later, she is an Army veteran, surgeon, wife, mother, and trauma survivor who still hears classical music as both refuge and memory. Her life looks accomplished from the outside, but flashbacks, addiction, family strain, and a marriage in crisis keep pulling her toward the parts of herself she cannot control. Naomi becomes convinced that accepted treatment is not enough. Drawing on medicine, behavioral science, music therapy, and her own experience, she begins developing an experimental approach to rewiring trauma and destructive behavior. The research is risky, private, and increasingly personal. To move it forward, she turns to Maren, a volatile woman from her past with access to drugs, criminal connections, and more resentment than Naomi realizes. What starts as an obsessive attempt to find a better treatment soon collides with a dangerous world beyond the clinic. Maren's loyalties are divided, old associates are closing in, and the secrets Naomi keeps from her husband Elias become harder to separate from the secrets surrounding her work. As professional ambition, combat trauma, music, and family pressure converge, Naomi is forced to confront a frightening possibility: the experiment she believes could help people may also be giving the most unstable people in her life a new reason to control her. She has spent years trying to transform pain into purpose. Now, with her career, marriage, and safety at risk, Naomi must decide how far she is willing to go to prove that a damaged mind can be changed without losing herself in the process.
