What happens when home is no longer a haven?
Driven by family tragedy, Freedom “Dom” Hall is a newly minted therapist eager to serve the community that raised him and honor the pact he made with his best friend, Kendra. His job at a local clinic, New Horizons, seems like the perfect place to begin making the change he has long envisioned. But things are not as they seem.
To his surprise, his employer has partnered with a large tech company to provide virtual reality-based therapy to clients. The cutting-edge care seems promising, but it doesn't take long for a few strange incidents to suggest there may be more to the business partnership. And Dom is not the only one with suspicions.
The Village, a covert group with roots in maroon communities and a radical mission, enlists Dom’s help to uncover the truth. This uncertain alliance will force him to confront his past and the true nature of healing. To successfully work through the growing tangle of buried secrets and shifting loyalties, he must decide whether to be true to himself or risk losing what he cares for the most.

Tales of a Black Therapist
What does it take to be a Black therapist?
​
Drew Gaines has developed valuable insight over his ten-year counseling career and is now at a point where he wants to share his wisdom. He has decided to do this by starting a mentoring group for Black male college students planning to enter the mental health field. When he meets the first promising recruit, Amir, he finds an eager young man unaware of the challenges ahead of him. As the two try to understand each other’s perspectives, Drew uses several stories from his early career—from the therapy session, to the classroom, to the dinner table—to detail the obstacles he encountered in hopes of keeping Amir from facing the same.
​
The demand for Black therapists is high, and for anyone who has ever wondered what comes along with fulfilling that call, these vibrant stories will provide an insider’s view.
