Charli — Michelle L. Levigne

Years ago, Charli Carson and her father surprised a thief searching his laboratory. She was crippled and he died. Nightmares from fragmented memories plague Charli, so a reclusive life is easy. The forest is her classroom and refuge.

Joan Archer comes to the Carsons' hidden forest lab, seeking to save her father's life. Her questions and the options she offers prompt Charli and her mother to reevaluate choices they have made. It is time to leave behind their pain and loss. Helping to hide the children of friends in danger is the first step to a new life -- and prompts the enemy to try again to steal their research.

This time, he will kill whoever denies him his prize. Charli must conquer her fears and nightmares to find answers to protect them all. Risking her life might just lead to a new one.
