Every dream foreshadows the chapter that follows. Every pursuit mirrors a battle she must fight in daylight.As the prey moves from darkness into open fields bathed in sun and clean air, her real world begins to shift too. Chaos slowly gives way to clarity. Fear to strength. Survival to hope.Crossroads of Midnight is a haunting and intimate literary novel about motherhood, mental illness, endurance, and the quiet, stubborn pursuit of something better—even when you don't yet know what you're chasing.Some hunts are not about capture.Some are about becoming free.
