DiellaNoir
For seven years, Mara Ellison gave her husband's family everything she had. Her pay, her sleep, her savings, her name. When the flood hit and one seat was left on the evacuation truck, Grant Hollis gave it to his mistress and his son. Mara drowned in the dark, and on the way down she found out the rest. The boy was his. And the inheritance her grandfather left her had been kept from her by the aunt who raised her.
She opens her eyes sixty days before the first rain. Her mother-in-law is already ordering her to hand over her savings. This time Mara looks around the room and says, "I want a divorce."
Everyone thinks she has lost her mind. She sells, buys, builds and trains while the city laughs at her. Then the water comes on the exact day she said it would, and the people who left her to die are standing at her door, begging.
But Mara is not the only one who came back.
