Happenstance

Synopsis

Darby Saunders has a plan. Two years in the making, every detail rehearsed. Every goodbye disguised. At sixteen, she’s learned to survive the unthinkable behind closed doors, but survival isn’t living, and she’s ready to end the rule of the “monster” who made her home a place of terror.

Over a single weekend, as a storm lashes her small New Brunswick town, Darby’s carefully plotted escape collides with the unpredictable‒ an unexpected kindness of a teacher, a loyal dog, and a best friend who doesn’t know the truth.

Told with honesty and restraint, Happenstance traces the final days of a young woman’s attempt to reclaim her power from the man who stole it. It’s a story of courage, and friendship, and the desperate hope that even in the darkness, there may still be a way out.
