1,000 Cuts

They told her she was healed. They didn't expect her to remember.Rebecca Chen survived a brutal system that rewired her mind in the name of rehabilitation. Years later, she lives quietly, archivally, until a single file-planted in her car-reawakens everything she wasn't supposed to recall. At its center: Dr. Allen Morrison, her former therapist, and the pharmaceutical trial that erased names, histories, and lives.As Rebecca unspools the threads of her own stolen memory, she uncovers a hidden network of youth detention experiments, altered identities, and clinical betrayal. She's not alone-others survived, too. Some are silent. Some want justice. One of them wants revenge.Told in razor-edged prose and laced with psychological tension, 1,000 Cuts is a literary thriller about what happens when the body heals but the truth remains buried. It's about institutional violence disguised as care. And a woman who decides, finally, to unbury the archive.What they did to her was systematic. What she does back is personal.
