Bent not Broken: A Hannah Tree Mystery Novella

To survive her shattered childhood, sixteen-year-old Hannah lives by three rules: win, seek justice, and trust no one.

But justice and the law don’t always match, and in Hannah's world, the line between winning and losing is razor thin. After fighting back against the boys who assaulted her, Hannah lands in juvenile detention.

She plans to keep her head down and simply do her time. But then comes Shelby, her new roommate: battered, bruised and full of stories that don’t add up. When Hannah reluctantly agrees to help her, she’s pulled into a chaotic web of lies.

Shelby swears she’s being hunted by a killer inside the facility, but is Shelby's really vulnerable or do her lies hide something more sinister? Now, behind locked doors, Hannah must decide how far she’ll go to fight for justice.

Gripping and unflinchingly honest, BENT NOT BROKEN is a psychological thriller that explores the the thin line between victim and survivor.
