Strong Child

"For a fleeting moment, Mara's mind went blank. Then she screamed an anguish scream. She felt like she was in the midst of a nightmare. This couldn't be happening. She laid her head down on the table and tears cascaded down her face."

Haunted by the untimely death of her loving husband, Sam, Mara Ashton, the mother of three young children, learns to navigate the murky terrain of grief and loss. But she also struggles with downward spiraling mental health issues that threaten to overtake her.

To further exacerbate matters for the new widow, Mara suddenly becomes a multimillionaire. Instead of lessening her grief, the money from a wrongful death lawsuit only compounds her problems. Although everyone assumes she's an easy target, Mara knows better. She soon learns the extremes that gold diggers will go to in order to get their hands on her riches.

However, only Mara knows the sinister secrets about her complex personality, her childhood, and the lengths she will go to protect her family. Will she be able to avoid the traps set by her many money-hungry suitors, phony friends, and devious relatives?
