Alone

Some houses keep their secrets long after the doors are locked. Irma Willoughby has always been fiercely independent. But as winter closes in, the silence of her isolated farmhouse grows heavier. A stark reminder of her recent widowhood and years of estrangement from her children. The house she refuses to leave holds more than just memories. It holds secrets. Then her daughter Hilary returns, unannounced and full of questions. She says she’s worried, but Irma can feel the tension. The way she asks about Irma’s late husband. About the brother who died so long ago. About things better left unspoken. As the temperature drops, strange disturbances begin to stir. A cellar door left open. Family photographs moved. Her husband’s old pipe reappearing without explanation. The past isn’t just haunting Irma. It’s clawing its way to the surface. With trust fraying and danger circling, Irma must face the one truth she’s never dared admit: the greatest threat may not come from outside, but from within her own family. In a home filled with ghosts, the most dangerous thing of all might be the truth. Alone is a haunting psychological suspense novel about fractured families, buried guilt, and the chilling consequences of truth. It’s the first book in the Breaking Point Series, perfect for fans of The Push, We Need to Talk About Kevin, and Sharp Objects.
