For Your Own Good

For Your Own Good

Saevryn Kennedy has spent her entire life on the move, following her mother’s rules: don’t get attached, don’t stand out, don’t ask questions. When her mother is suddenly institutionalized, Saevryn is placed into foster care- and for the first time, she begins to experience stability, love, and the possibility of a future that doesn’t involve running. But as she settles into a new life, the past starts pushing back. Nightmares sharpen. Memories surface. Timelines stop making sense. And Saevryn is forced to confront a terrifying truth: the woman who raised her may have been protecting her from something far darker than the world outside. A psychological thriller about gaslighting, inherited trauma, and the cost of blind loyalty, For Your Own Good explores how far a mother will go to protect her child- and what happens when love becomes the most dangerous lie of all.
