From the highly acclaimed author of Don't Try to Find Me and This is Not Over comes the unforgettable, harrowing story of a young broadcast journalist who discovers a mysterious diary from a female broadcaster in 1991 featuring startling and frightening parallels to her own life.Oh, how far shes come but how far will she have to go Twenty-four-year-old Cheyenne Florian has just received the kind of job offer that dreams are made of. On the strength of a few vlogs, shes recruited to be the new correspondent on the recently hatched Independent News Network, INN.With its slogan Because independent thinking is the only way out, INN strives to be exciting and innovative. Yet once Cheyenne joins the INN team, she's disappointed to find age-old dynamics in play. A few of the female staff resent her meteoric rise, while some of the men are only too happy to welcome her. Even Edwin warns her to watch her back. And then there's the diary left for her anonymously, written by a female broadcast journalist icon named Elyse Rohrbach in 1991. The mysterious diary is accompanied by a note, urging Cheyenne to learn from the past. Is it meant as inspiration and friendly advice or as a warning Still, she can't see how it has anything to do with her until disturbing events begin. As more unsettling events unfold events that appear as if someone is engineering the similarities in Cheyenne's life to match those from Elyse past it becomes clear that she is a pawn in a very twisted game. But Cheyenne is determined to rewrite the rules and play her own game. Though they separated by more than twenty-five years, Elyse and Cheyenne are learning the same lesson: Nothing is more threatening than a woman who doesn't yet know her own power.
