Some escapes are physical. Others are emotional. But the hardest are the ones we make from within.

The Weight of Escape is a stirring and deeply personal journey through pain, betrayal, and quiet survival. In this haunting debut novel, Amber L. Knightengale tells the story of a woman burdened by memories she can't forget and relationships that never gave her room to breathe.

Torn between the ghosts of the past and the weight of responsibility, she navigates toxic love, family scars, and spiritual isolation. Her path isn't perfect, but it is honest. It is human. As she flees everything that once defined her, she begins to uncover a new version of herself—one rooted in self-worth, strength, and truth.

This is not a fairytale. It's not a story tied up with a pretty ending. It is real, raw, and rooted in the quiet power that comes from choosing yourself after years of choosing everyone else.

If you've ever felt unseen, unheard, or undone by the weight of your own life, this novel was written for you.

The Weight of Escape isn't just a story. It's a mirror. It's a reckoning. It's a reminder that healing doesn't always look like hope—but it's always worth chasing.
