Sophie is a nurse. Sophie is pregnant. Sophie has killed.

For two years, she loved Julien with the absolute conviction of women who have not yet had reason to doubt. Then the blows came, rare at first, then regular, then simply normal. She learned to calibrate her step in the hallway, to cry without a sound, to smile at the right moment. She learned to survive.

But there is Liam...

Before It All Fades is the novel of that tipping point, that of an ordinary woman pushed to the extraordinary, and of what happens when she is left with no other choice.
