BirthRights
Sometimes the perfect pregnancy is less than skin deep... A young man watches as a heavily pregnant doctor is stabbed in the street. He sees the knife, swinging down into that rounded belly, again and again, deep to the hilt. A few minutes later, the doctor has gone. Nobody believes what the man has seen. For Ana, the doctor, the incident is problematic. Back home, she peels off the damaged pretence of her pregnancy, a beautifully crafted garment, padded and slung across her abdomen. And she begins to realise that a story she has crafted with even greater care, is about to unravel. Praise for BirthRights "Haunting, thoughtful, tender exploration of some of life's most profound challenges" Malve von Hassell, author of Alina and The Struggle for Eden "This thriller will both entertain you and open your eyes to real struggles going on worldwide today. It is a must-read without a doubt!" Tessa Talks Books and more, Vine Voice "This is a book which explores life through cracks in reality. There are cracks in plaster, cracks under doors, cracks in truth and cracks in the heart. Light filtering through under a door both illuminates and obfuscates - but which is the truth?.... The novel of the year in my view." Kerensa Jennings, Author of Seas of Snow

Dr. Anna Griffin is an intelligent and barrier-breaking psychiatrist. She believes in the whole healing process rather than drug-inducing methods. It's this method that may have landed her in some trouble as one night, after a talk, she is attacked by a former patient.
Another former patient witnesses the attack, but once he's come to his senses and rushes to where he saw it happen...there isn't anything there. No Dr. Anna. No attacker..no blood.
Was Dr. Anna attacked? Did he really see what he thinks?
This is a story about a woman whose past affects her choices and how those choices ultimately lead to failed schemes and deceptions. It affects not only herself, but those she has treated and worked with. I don't want to say too much because it will give away the details and this is much better digested than spoiled.
A slow-burn read that discusses mental health, grief, obsessions and “cracks in reality”. Definitely recommend this one.
