SLEEPLESS
SLEEPLESS A haunting, emotionally charged psychological drama about trauma, survival, and the pursuit of justice.
Birdie has spent years trying to outrun her past—an abusive childhood, a mother who wouldn’t leave, and men whose cruelty left scars that never healed. But when her mother is found murdered alongside a powerful U.S. Senator, Birdie is pulled back into the nightmare she thought she’d escaped.
Hardened by her own past and driven by a relentless pursuit of justice, Detective Hattie Rocker is determined to uncover the truth behind the double homicide. But the deeper she digs, the more twisted the case becomes—and the more it begins to mirror her own buried memories.
Timelines unravel, motives blur, and heroes emerge, as Birdie and Hattie find themselves on a collision course with a truth that could destroy them both.
Told through multiple perspectives and timelines, SLEEPLESS is a gripping, character-driven novel that explores the long shadows cast by domestic violence, the resilience of survivors, and the gray areas of justice. With lyrical prose and unflinching honesty, Sharon F. Gibson delivers a powerful debut that will stay with you long after the final page.
Content This novel contains depictions of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and trauma that may be distressing to some readers.
