The Family Calendar: a Domestic Psychological Thriller
Her son almost drowned.
Now someone wants Charlotte Mercer to believe she is losing her mind.
It has been months since the pool accident that nearly killed her young son, Caleb. Since then, Charlotte has suffered from insomnia, panic attacks, memory gaps, and disturbing episodes she cannot explain.
Then the messages begin.
A warning appears on the family calendar.
Another arrives through the smart-home system.
Photographs appear showing Charlotte doing things she has no memory of doing.
Her husband, Evan, says it is trauma. He insists Charlotte has been sleepwalking, suffering blackouts, and becoming dangerously paranoid. Medical records seem to confirm his story.
But Charlotte discovers something Evan never told her.
Someone has been watching her.
As she searches for answers, Charlotte uncovers hidden psychiatric evaluations, secret surveillance, deleted security footage, and mysterious access to the family's smart-home system. Every discovery makes her question Evan. Then it makes her question herself.
Because the security cameras show Charlotte wandering the house in the middle of the night.
Talking to someone who isn't there.
Standing outside her son's bedroom with a kitchen knife in her hand.
Charlotte remembers none of it.
And when her teenage daughter admits that she has become afraid of her mother, Charlotte can no longer be certain which version of reality she can trust.
Then strange events begin happening in front of the entire family.
Security systems activate on their own. Anonymous warnings appear on multiple devices. A red car is seen near the house. And a man is spotted watching the family from beyond the backyard fence.
Someone knows what happened the day Caleb nearly drowned.
Someone knows what Charlotte has forgotten.
And someone inside the family may know far more than they are willing to admit.
The Family Calendar is a gripping psychological domestic thriller about memory, marriage, manipulation, and the terrifying possibility that the person you should trust most is the person you should fear.
Because when Charlotte receives one final message telling her that Evan is finally ready to reveal the truth, she has only one question left:
What if the truth is even worse than what she imagined?
