ABOUT THE BOOK
The Choice Was Yours
Six weeks. No phone. No contact with the outside world. Just silence, treatment, and the promise that somewhere beneath the exhaustion, Elena Ward might find herself again.
Elena arrives at Vallière, a secluded Swiss clinic, believing she has chosen to disappear from her life long enough to save it. But inside its carefully controlled routine, the story she has accepted about her marriage—and about herself—begins to fracture.
Memories no longer fit as neatly as they once did. Conversations take on different meanings. And the people who claim to be protecting her seem far too certain about what happened.
Vallière is not a prison. Nobody forced Elena through its doors.
But what if they never had to?
What if every decision was shaped so carefully that every possible choice led to the same place?
The Choice Was Yours is an intimate psychological suspense novel about marriage, memory, power, and the invisible line between protection and control.
Because the truth does not belong to the person who lived it. It belongs to the person who tells it first.
