Description

In the quaint town of Oldham, Isabella Sullivan navigates the tumultuous waters of life through her daily bus commute to the bustling city of Newbridge. As a young woman striving to carve her identity amid a fractured family history, the routine bus rides bring both comfort and reminders of her desire to escape the entanglements of her upbringing. However, her life takes an unexpected turn when a catastrophic event—the bus plunging into a chilling river—forces her into a world of uncertainty and confusion. When Isabella emerges from the water, she is not only drenched but thrust into a reality that feels foreign. Clad in a heavy coat that isn’t hers and accompanied by a mysterious soldier who speaks in riddles, she grapples with fragmented memories and eerie encounters. What happened to her during the fall? Why can’t she recall anything beyond her name? As she struggles to piece together the puzzle of her identity, Isabella encounters figures from her past, including a husband who bears a haunting resemblance to the soldier who rescued her. As the narrative unfolds, a web of tension tightens around Isabella. Hidden truths about her marriage, her family's abandonment, and her own emotional trauma emerge, leading her to question not only her relationships but also her very existence. With the backdrop of a quiet town sparsely lit by flickering streetlights, Isabella must confront the ghosts of her choices, the weight of solitude, and an unexpected spark of connection with Fiona, a woman who proves to be both kind-hearted and insightful. What is the truth behind her husband’s intentions? Why does he seem so invested in keeping her secrets? As Isabella’s memories begin to resurface like shadows in the water, she races against time to regain her footing in a life shrouded in mystery. The essence of love, loss, and resilience intertwine in this gripping tale where the past and present collide, leaving readers questioning not only the fate of Isabella Sullivan but the nature of human connection itself.
