But after a dangerous spiral with her ex, a public arrest, and a chance encounter with Jaxson a quiet cop with his own history of scars Layla begins the long, uneven climb toward recovery.
Still Standing is a raw, emotionally charged novel about surviving abuse, breaking cycles, and learning to live without apology. With the support of unlikely friendships, late-night AA meetings, and her own fragile strength, Layla faces the past that shaped her and starts choosing a future that might finally belong to her.
This is not a story about being saved.
It's a story about staying.
