The Safe House: https://www.louisemumfordauthor.com/the-safe-house
She told you the house would keep you safe. She lied.
Esther is safe in the house. For sixteen years, she and her mother have lived off the grid, protected from the dangers of the outside world. For sixteen years, Esther has never seen another single soul.

Is her mother keeping Esther safe – or keeping her prisoner?
