Coming in 2026!
Roseann overcame the trauma of an abusive childhood to become a renowned psychotherapist. But when she gets malpractice charges from patients she can’t recall treating, she questions her self-worth and sanity, reverting to the substance-fueled debauchery she thought she’d left behind. Then after she learns she was adopted and meets her loving compassionate birth mother who’d named her Harmony, Roseann fears her depraved identity will repel the love and belonging she’s always yearned for. Will a desperate plea for help from her new-found sister, or the threat of losing the man who loves her, impel her to choose the Harmony she was born to be?
FINDING HARMONY is a character-driven psychological fiction, a multi-layered story dealing with adoption, trauma, identity, and a reluctant romance. With themes of self-worth, intimacy, and belonging, its comps include ‘The Guest’ by Emma Cline, ‘My Dark Vanessa” by Kate Elizabeth Russell, and ‘A Little Life’ by Hanya Yanagihara.
Roseann is a psychotherapist who believes she’s overcome the damage from an abusive family, to become a top-doc in Los Angeles for challenging psychological disorders. But when she begins getting negative feedback from doctors who’ve referred their patients to her, she can’t recall treating those clients, and begins to question herself, her sanity, and her self-worth – sending her back into the substance-fueled promiscuity she’d left behind. She also recently discovered she was adopted, and when she first meets her birth mother and family, she is overwhelmed by their loving support― the opposite of her adoptive family. She learns she was named “Harmony” before her birth mother was forced to give her up, and now this family believes she is good and worthy, welcoming her as an important part of them. Roseann wants to claim that identity, belong in that family, and embrace their love. But as the charges of malpractice mysteriously continue, she again doubts her self-worth and spirals further into old self-destructive behavior, denying her right to be part of that perfect family. Fearing she will hurt them, she shuts them out. What will it take for Roseann to choose HARMONY?
