Synopsis
ANNA IS NOT HER NAME
Anna is a possession. She is owned by the man named Will, shielded from a struggling world by his care.
Anna is obedient, dutiful, and compliant.
When Anna finds the strength to run, she leaves her name behind. But in her new idyllic town, the past—and Will—catch up with her.
Carrying a child and a dark secret, she must face the scars he gave her—and learn to be everything Anna was not.
