Description
Sequel to 'Beneath The Silence.' At 18 years old, Brooke Hotchner has just walked across the graduation stage-but instead of heading off to college like most of her classmates, she's chosen a different path. The daughter of BAU Unit Chief Aaron Hotchner, Brooke has never lived a normal life. Between losing her mother young, battling chronic illness, and surviving more trauma than most adults, Brooke has learned that healing doesn't follow a schedule-and neither does life. While her friends scatter across the country for dorms and degrees, Brooke stays behind in D.C., navigating the uncertainty of what comes next. She takes time to breathe, to rest, and to figure out who she is outside of trauma and expectations. As she explores jobs, passion projects, and therapy, Brooke begins to rediscover her strength-on her own terms. With the support of her fiercely protective father, her BAU family, and a few unexpected new friendships, Brooke learns that choosing not to go to college isn't giving up-it's choosing to live. This is a story about second chances, slow healing, and the courage it takes to write your own future.
