Glass Hearts & County Lines by Tracey Stubbs
About this ebook
. Some families break loudly.
Others crack in silence.
In a quiet Ohio town where routines matter more than feelings, seven-year-old Holly is trapped between two very different worlds. Her father, Jake, believes stability and patience can hold a family together. Her mother, Crystal, believes survival belongs to whoever moves first. As a custody battle slowly tightens around them, old resentments, generational trauma, and buried rage begin surfacing beneath the surface of ordinary life.
But while the adults convince themselves they are protecting Holly, nobody notices what the child herself is becoming: careful, watchful, and dangerously good at keeping everyone happy.
Dark, emotionally sharp, and hauntingly realistic, GLASS HEARTS & COUNTY LINES is a chilling psychological domestic thriller about control, inheritance, silence, and the invisible damage adults leave behind. Perfect for readers who love slow-burn tension, morally gray characters, and family dramas that cut deep long after the final page.
