The Weaning Series – Book One: A Mother’s Nightmare

In the heart of Florida, Janie Haskins, a young and single teacher, experiences the joy of motherhood when she gives birth to a perfect, beautiful baby girl. Assisted by a trusted midwife, Janie eagerly embraces her new role as a mother, cherishing every precious moment with her newborn daughter.

But nine nights later, Janie’s world is shattered when her baby is cruelly snatched away by a mysterious woman cloaked in black. Helpless and frantic, Janie’s sister Sara witnesses the abduction, but her paraplegic and aphasic condition renders her unable to communicate the horrifying truth. Desperate to sound the alarm, Sara silently holds her breath, willing her heart monitor to signal the alarm that something is dreadfully wrong.

As Janie’s frantic call to 911 sets off a chain of events, she finds an unexpected ally in Trey Bronson, the responding policeman whose life is forever changed by the tragedy. Together, they embark on a harrowing journey to uncover the truth behind the abduction and bring Janie’s precious baby home.

But as they delve deeper into the darkness that shrouds the truth, Janie and Trey soon realize that they are up against a formidable adversary—one whose motives are shrouded in secrecy and whose reach knows no bounds.

In the first installment of The Weaning series, Janie’s worst nightmare becomes a reality, setting the stage for a gripping saga of love, loss, and redemption. Will Janie and Trey uncover the truth in time to save her daughter, or will they become ensnared in a web of deceit and betrayal?

Join the heart-pounding suspense of The Weaning series as the hunt for a missing child takes unexpected twists and turns, leaving readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page.
