Room 6 (PreOrder 10/1/2026)

Dr. Nia Whitmore has built a career teaching people how to survive the memories their minds tried to bury.

At thirty-five, she is one of Atlanta’s most respected trauma therapists, with a thriving private practice, a carefully curated marriage, and a life that appears almost painfully normal. She believes trauma leaves fingerprints. Memory may distort, suppress, even fracture—but somewhere beneath it all, the truth remains.

Then Naomi Bell becomes her patient.

For nine months, Naomi occupies Nia’s final appointment every Thursday at six o’clock. She is guarded, unsettling, and strangely interested in Nia’s childhood. She asks questions no patient should know to ask. Questions about Nia’s mother. Her marriage. A house she hasn’t thought about in years.

And one room Nia swears does not exist.

Room 6.

When Naomi suddenly disappears, Nia assumes she has terminated treatment without warning.

Except her receptionist has never heard of Naomi Bell.

There is no patient file.

No appointment history.

No payment record.

No evidence that Naomi ever stepped inside the practice.

Determined to prove she isn’t losing her mind, Nia begins searching for answers—and discovers that the office she has worked in for years once contained a sixth room, sealed behind the wall of her private office.

When the room is opened, Nia expects dust.

Instead, she finds a chair.

A camera.

A tape recorder.

And decades of recordings featuring one subject.

Her.

Some were filmed when Nia was a child.

Others were recorded only weeks ago.

In one video, an unseen interviewer asks her a single question:

Who is Naomi Bell?

Nia watches herself answer without hesitation.

Nobody.

Again.

Nobody.

Again.

Nobody.

Then comes the question that destroys everything she believes about herself.

What happened to her?

On the recording, Nia begins to cry.

And whispers:

“I killed her.”

Now a woman trained to uncover buried memories must determine whether her own memories were buried…

or deliberately rewritten.

Because Naomi Bell was real.

Nia knew her.

Her mother knew her.

And the husband sleeping beside Nia every night may know exactly why she was supposed to forget.

The deeper Nia digs into her past, the less certain she becomes of which side of the therapy chair she once occupied—and why someone has spent decades making sure she never remembers what happened inside Room 6.

But some memories refuse to stay buried.

And somewhere out there, Naomi Bell may still be alive.

Waiting for Nia to remember.
