Ellie Grace is fifty-one, a grandmother who bakes muffins, loses her glasses, and loves her quiet Ohio life. But at night, she slips behind the bar at TJ’s Taproom—not for the paycheck, but to keep an eye on the girls who come and go, frightened, nameless, and far too young.

​

The more she helps, the more her own life frays. When a plan to hide a girl goes wrong, Ellie realizes she can’t keep saving one woman at a time. She dreams of something bigger—Mercy House, a safe place to begin again. But building hope in the open means darkness finally knows her name.
