Inside Me
by Zoe Hethershaw

---

Nicole’s life has been traumatic—her mother died when Nicole was five and her father disappeared shortly after. After a childhood lost in the child welfare system, she’s now in her thirties and still grappling with the past. But her life changes suddenly with one phone call, when a lawyer explains Nicole’s father has died. Not only has he left her an apology, but also a fortune and a trail of letters that leads her to relatives and family friends. As Nicole meets significant people and family members one by one, she is tossed into inner turmoil. Vulnerable and stressed, she spirals through grief, dissociative episodes, and flashbacks to the neglect experienced in foster and group homes, abuse in a relationship with an older man, and lost pregnancies and her infant’s death. But with each new encounter, Nicole also slowly heals. As she learns to trust her newfound family, Nicole faces not only the trauma of her past but also the potential of her wide-open future.
