The Weight of HER by J.C. Carpenter

It took years to craft a life Brennan could call her own. Even if she had to lie in order to build it.

Brennan has perfectly constructed the wall of lies around her. She’s got a husband who adores her, a successful career, and a best friend who has always tried to protect her, even from herself.

What she didn’t count on was that one knock at her door could unravel it all, revealing more about her than she had ever intended.

When a person from the past that she’s tried to bury for decades asks her for the unthinkable, she has a choice to make.

Either close the door and let the hate consumer her, at the risk of losing everything she’s built. Or open herself up to the power of forgiveness and release the weight she’s been holding on to for all of these years.

The Weight of HER is a story about love, redemption, and the power of forgiveness.
