Series: The Daughter of a Drunk

Summary
Details

She spent fifteen years keeping one promise: never become her father.

Then her brother called begging for help. She had $8,247 in her bank account. He needed $8,000 to stay alive.

She said no.

Three days later, they shot him behind a warehouse.

Olivia Parker was supposed to be the success story. The girl who escaped. Valedictorian. McKinsey consultant. Twenty-one years sober.

Now she's waking up in strangers' beds. Empty wine bottles line her floor. The viral video of her breakdown has 134,000 views. McKinsey fired her. No apartment. No job. No one will touch her.

She's six months pregnant by a man she met in a bar and can't remember his name.

The bathroom floor promise she made at age six is dead. And she's becoming exactly like the alcoholic father she spent her whole life running from.

This is what it looks like when everything you built yourself on turns to ash. This is the fall before the fight. This is rock bottom.

A devastating, impossible-to-put-down story about guilt, addiction, and the moment you become the person you swore you'd never be.

Book 2 in The Daughter of a Drunk series. Complete emotional arc with compelling setup for Book 3. Can be read standalone, but Book 1 shows how the promise was made.
