Still Watching - Paperback

Still Watching is the story of Mara Bennett - former corporate executive, devoted mother, and a woman who left a controlling marriage expecting freedom. Instead, the war began.

As custody hearings multiply and her ex-husband's powerful family closes in, Mara begins to notice things. A car that appears twice. Documents that vanish. Words her son shouldn't know. The incidents escalate. Everyone questions her stability. And Mara must decide whether she is unraveling under pressure - or whether she has been right about the danger all along.

With only a handful of loyal friends, a grounded detective who sees more than he says, and the little boy who still finds magic in the world, Mara begins the painful climb back - to work, to herself, and unexpectedly, toward love. But when the past escalates just as new hope appears, survival may no longer be enough.

"In Still Watching, Erin Bowles beautifully and chillingly shines a spotlight on Mara Bennett's experiences and their effects: her paranoia, confusion, self-doubt, and fear. But Mara's journey is not only one of survival. It is also a journey of resilience, strength, determination, and hope. Focused on loving and protecting her son, Mara learns to trust herself again with the support of family, friends, and new relationships."
