Chasity Phillips

When fourteen‑year‑old Mary Ann Hamilton begins noticing strange cracks in her mother’s behavior—late‑night whispers, missing money, a sudden new identity—her quiet Alabama life shatters. Swept into a world of secrets, lies, and a man whose charm hides something far darker, Mary Ann is forced to confront the truth her mother has been hiding.   Some families protect you. Some destroy you. And beneath the rock, the past is waiting to be uncovered.
