Feel No Evil

Stephanie Kepke

Could you forgive a person who did the unforgivable? What if your life literally depended on it? Can a person change? Can good people do bad things and bad people do good things? Feel No Evil explores these questions, delving into the many gray areas in life and the transformative power of forgiveness. A page-turning, addictive, dark, and yet hopeful, tale-perfect for the age of #MeToo-Feel No Evil will stay with the reader long after the last page.In 2014, twenty-one years after Kate Berg survived a vicious sexual assault, her attacker, Vin Merdone, shows up as someone she may know on Facebook. After overcoming an eating disorder sparked by the assault, Kate has worked hard to make sure that the sinister thread of darkness woven through the fabric of her existence never wraps itself around her brain again. But Kate knows it's a gossamer line between well and unwell...and she is about to cross it. Seeing Vin sends her tidy life tumbling like a house of cards-and brings a long-buried traumatic loss to the surface. The only panacea for the forty-one year old mother of two is her rekindled Facebook friendship with her best friend from college, Sean. Sean's kindness captured Kate's heart back in college when he helped her triumph over the assault, but her deeply entrenched fears derailed their relationship before the sparks between them could fan into flames. Now they're both married to others, but their emotional connection is as strong as ever. Kate's husband, Caleb, doesn't trust Sean, but his own flaws are driving Kate further away. Despite their challenges, Caleb will do anything to save the woman he loves from her demons.When Part Two opens in April 2019, Vin has shot back into Kate's orbit in the most unexpected way, derailing Kate's hard-earned progress. With the #MeToo movement exploding, will Kate finally get the chance to expose Vin for who he is, after he's lived a life free from the consequences of his actions? Set against the backdrop of the rancorous political divisions in our country, Feel No Evil also dives deep into a friendship fractured in the age of Trump, with Kate a liberal and Sean a Trump supporter, and explores how to forgive and start to repair those wounds. When the smoke clears and the dust settles in our turbulent times it's going to be important to move past our divisions and back into the hearts and arms of those we've always loved. Feel No Evil celebrates forgiveness, its ability to free one's soul and the role it plays in one woman's triumphant victory over the demons of her past.
