Summary

She’s built a life that looks perfect on paper. But the truth won’t stay hidden forever.

Grace Leven has the job, the title, and the polished public image to match. But behind the magazine covers and boardroom doors, her world is quietly falling apart.

Her marriage is over. Her best friend has vanished. And one damning piece of footage could unravel the career she’s spent decades building.

So she runs—no plan, no suitcase, just instinct—and finds herself somewhere no one knows her name. She tells herself it’s temporary. Just time to breathe. But the stillness leaves room for everything she’s tried to outrun: the panic, the guilt, and the ache of a life that no longer fits.

And then there’s Harvey—the quiet, steady presence who sees through the cracks and offers her something she didn’t expect: a reason to stay.

What Really Happened to Me is the fifth standalone novel in The Next Chapter Collection. It’s a heartfelt exploration of burnout, blame, and the quiet strength it takes to rewrite your story from the middle.©2025 Ellie Barker (P)2026 W. F. Howes Ltd
