The Waiting Room

Ever since her husband’s death coincided with the birth of her daughter, postpartum depression has taken hold of Veronica Shelton. She can’t sleep, can’t work, and can’t bear to touch her beautiful baby girl.

Her emotional state whispers lies in Veronica’s head: “You’re a bad mother. Your baby would be better off without you.”

But not everything can be reasoned away by Veronica’s despair. After all, the break-in at her house happened. The disturbing sketches she found in her studio are real. So is the fear for her daughter’s safety—especially when Veronica comes home to a cold, silent nursery and a missing baby.

As she turns from victim into primary suspect, Veronica realizes that only she can find her daughter. Authorities aren’t helping; they’re only watching. Veronica’s concerned mother has suddenly vanished from her life, and a new friend seems to be keeping secrets from her too.

Now reality is waiting for Veronica in a dark place—because someone’s mind games have only just begun.
