Harriet’s Walls Didn’t Build Themselves
To come home to patrols searching your home will rattle anyone. But for Harriet this moment doesn't only terrify her -- it drags her back to the day she thought her world would end. But Harriet's not that scared eight year old who watched her father due. She's a trained Underground operative and, instead of freezing, she retreats into the tunnels and plans. Harriet has built tall walls around her heart after all she's lost. Tearing them down took putting her through something equally as hard as what built the walls in the first place. Harriet's grief healing arc takes three books, and I promise the ending is worth every tear.
Book Excerpt
Caged
“No!” Harriet added a curse to her silent exclamation when she emerged from the Underground tunnel entrance and saw the patrol officer standing on her back stoop, the door into her kitchen hanging open. She had arrived back in Obsidian in the early morning hours, with every inch of her body exhausted from their midnight exploration of the militia warehouse the night before.
She ducked back inside the empty building’s emergency exit, a desperate plan taking shape. Harriet retreated into the tunnel, then sprinted to the other Obsidian tunnel access point by the rec center.
She had no choice. No way would she leave her family to face the patrols alone, without her. Someone must have tracked her outside the city. They must have seen where she’d gone, that she’d not been back before curfew the night before, and were now taking her rebellion out on her family.
Alma May would tell her to be brave, and facing patrols is what Alma May would do if she were here now.
