When Owen gives Mara's hard-won award to his assistant, he expects his wife to stay quietly in the background-where he has always kept her. But the award is only the first thing he has taken from her name. As a garden Mara designed becomes the next battleground, she must decide whether protecting the life they built is worth disappearing inside it. Every choice forces her to confront what Owen calls loyalty, what the community has been taught to believe, and what she will no longer trade for peace.
