No Longer Her Patient

Synopsis

Mia Shaw was born with a port-wine stain covering the left side of her face. Her mother, Evelyn Shaw, is a respected dermatologist who could have helped her. Instead, she turned Mia into a case study, forcing her to stand before students, patients, and colleagues as proof of a "weak mind." Mia's only escape is the handpan, a quiet world of resonance where no one stares. When her improvisation earns an invitation from the Alpine Sound Festival, Evelyn destroys the instrument, cuts off her contact with the outside world, and publicly exposes her private diary in a lecture hall. Pushed past the breaking point, Mia finally stops hiding. But when the world sees what Evelyn has done in the name of medicine and motherhood, will Mia be able to reclaim her life before her mother destroys what little is left?
