Forever Gone

Charleston real estate lawyer Lee Danforth thought she’d left Timberline Farm—and everything that happened there—far behind. But when a young girl escapes the ranch and comes to her with chilling evidence of abuse, Lee is pulled back into a world she’s spent years trying to forget—a place once trusted to protect, now hiding something far more sinister. Haunted by her past with Jack Marshall, Timberline’s late founder, Lee is forced to reexamine a relationship she once believed was love—but now knows was abuse and exploitation. As she digs deeper, the truth becomes more harrowing: Jack’s surviving family has turned the farm into a front for trafficking and corruption. And Jack’s death? Maybe not an accident after all. Exposing the truth means revisiting the darkest chapter of her life and risking everything she’s built—her career, her reputation, even her safety. But staying silent could mean more children vanish, and more lives are destroyed. As powerful forces close in and the shadows of Timberline grow darker, Lee must decide: protect herself—or bring a monstrous legacy into the light.
