Heaven Harmon
Fall or Fly
Callie has spent years building a quiet, carefully controlled life after growing up in a home ruled by fear, emotional manipulation, and cycles of abuse. She keeps her world small, her routines steady, and her past at arm’s length—until the night her estranged mother shows up at her door, injured, fragile, and asking for help.
The reunion cracks open everything Callie thought she had buried: guilt, anger, longing, and the complicated love that exists between a child and a parent who never learned how to protect themselves. As she navigates the fallout of her mother’s return, Callie is forced to choose—between compassion and boundaries, survival and responsibility, the life she’s built and the one she still feels tied to.
