In the shadows of a forgotten institution, one woman uncovers a legacy of mind control, buried trauma, and the price of survival. As Clara Mitchell unearths the truth about her father, her past, and the mastermind who shaped them both, she must decide: expose the system or become its next experiment.

This book was born from the quiet ache that so many carry—the unanswered questions, the silent battles, the invisible wounds. To every soul who has ever felt fragmented or forgotten: this story is a tribute to your strength.
 
To the survivors—the ones who’ve endured more than most will ever know, and still find ways to love, to laugh, to build: your courage breathes between every line.
To those who speak when it’s easier to stay silent, and to those who listen when others cannot: thank you for making space for truth.
 
To the friends who held light in the dark, and to the mentors who believed when the path wasn’t clear—you helped me find the voice within the silence.
 
And to you, dear reader, for walking this road with Clara, for holding her broken pieces with grace—I hope this story gave you something: a mirror, a moment, a flicker of fire.
 
May you never forget that healing is rebellion, remembering is power, and truth—no matter how fractured—is always worth the fight.
