Rae Was Never Really Gone

By Nicole Marie Sword

What Rae Was Never Really Gone follows Rae, a young girl who fled her abusive home at a time when she felt like she had no other choice. Her father, a violent, alcoholic man, terrorized her since her mother left when Rae was just a child. With no siblings, and only one close friend who eventually disappeared, Rae was truly alone, enduring years of neglect and trauma. The book explores Rae's journey of survival and her painful decision to run away, leaving behind a town and a life filled with fear. Years later, Rae returns under a new identity, hoping to rebuild her life far away from the nightmares that haunted her. However, the town she left behind is full of secrets, and not everyone is ready to let go of the past. As Rae struggles to piece together the fragments of her former life, she finds herself drawn back into a mystery that intertwines her past with that of another missing girl, Emily, whose disappearance may be tied to Rae's own history. But there's someone watching her. A person from her past who may know more about her disappearance--and her father's actions--than Rae could ever imagine. The lines between past and present blur as Rae uncovers terrifying truths that threaten not only her freedom but her very life
