Rooms Without Names: What Wakes With You

He chose to wake up. Now he has to live with what followed him back.

Steve McKerry returns from the city of doors to a hospital bed and a life he can no longer control. His body needs months of rehabilitation. His marriage is ending. And his eldest son, Matthew, is learning to turn pain into anger—and anger into the same reckless choices that nearly killed his father.

Steve knows where that road leads. He helped build it.

As court hearings and fractured family loyalties strip away his old authority, Steve must find a way to reach Matthew without becoming the man his son has learned to fear. An apology cannot undo years of damage. Surviving does not entitle him to forgiveness.

And as dreams and impossible reflections begin to blur with waking life, Steve can no longer dismiss the city as something he left behind.

Can he break the pattern before his son pays for it?

What Wakes With You continues the Rooms Without Names series, blending psychological suspense, dark family drama, and metaphysical mystery in a story of addiction, fatherhood, and the cost of taking responsibility.
