Hausemaid Behind Closed Doors

By Eloise KAREEN

Six months after escaping the shadows of Project Chrysalis, Lily Morgan and her family are trying to build a new life under federal protection. But for a ten-year-old girl with extraordinary intelligence-and a past shaped by genetic experimentation-normalcy is a challenge she's never known.

As Lily navigates the complexities of a new school, new friendships, and a cautious sense of safety, she must also confront the lingering effects of her upbringing: the instinct to hide her abilities, the burden of responsibility far beyond her years, and the constant fear that her true nature will be discovered. When she begins working for the Chen family-a neurologist mother and two intellectually gifted children-Lily finds herself drawn into a world of academic curiosity and emotional connection. But Dr. Grace Chen's keen observations threaten to unravel the delicate balance Lily has worked so hard to maintain.

Behind Closed Doors is a poignant, psychologically rich novel about identity, resilience, and the search for belonging. Through Lily's eyes, readers will experience the struggles of a child forced to choose between authenticity and safety, and the hope that comes from finding acceptance in unexpected places.

Perfect for fans of Wonder, Orphan Black, and The Girl with All the Gifts, this second installment in The Lily Morgan Chronicles explores the ethical and emotional complexities of giftedness, family, and the courage to be seen.
