Elderbridge: Committed

By Cheryl Stewart

She trusted the people who were supposed to love her.

Cara Cairns has spent her whole life being the strong one - the steady daughter, the devoted wife, the Trial Manager who never lets her patients down. So when she wakes up strapped to a bed behind locked doors at Elderbridge, certain of only one thing - that she does not belong there
- no one believes her. Not the staff. Not her husband. Not even the mother she has spent her life trying to please.
Committed on the word of the people closest to her, Cara is left with nothing but her instincts and her memories to hold onto - and a nine-year-old boy on the ward outside, a boy she loves like her own, who is running out of time. As the walls of Elderbridge close in, Cara begins to realise that her committal was never a mistake. Someone wanted her silenced. And the deeper she digs, the more she understands that the people she trusted most may be the very ones who put her here.
With an unlikely ally inside the ward and a truth that reaches further than she ever imagined, Cara must fight to prove her sanity, save the boy she cannot bear to lose, and uncover exactly who benefits from her silence - before Elderbridge decides she never leaves at all.

A gripping, twist-filled psychological thriller about trust, betrayal, and the fierce love that refuses to be silenced.
