Anna, Wake Up

She thought she could survive anything–until her baby’s life depended on her escape.

Anna, Wake Up is a dark, emotionally gripping short story about motherhood, survival and the moment one young woman realizes that staying may cost her everything.

Trapped in a life shaped by violence, addiction, and fear, Anna has learned to endure more than anyone should. But when one terrifying night forces her to see the danger clearly, she must make an impossible choice: remain in the life that is destroying her, or risk everything to protect her child and claim a future of her own.

Raw, intimate, and ultimately hopeful, Anna, Wake Up is ideal for readers who enjoy emotionally intense women’s fiction, domestic suspense, and character-driven short fiction with grit, heart, and a hard-won sense of hope.

Excerpt:: “Anna, wake up. Anna, wake up. Anna, wake up,” it called again. I listened hard. This time, I thought it sounded like my voice, but it was high-pitched. I knew I was asleep: a lucid dream, but there was no visual, just her voice. This time it came from beside the bed. “Anna, wake up. Anna, wake up. Anna, wake up.”

Who is the mysterious voice trying to save Anna, and why does it sound so familiar?
