Hidden Connection

Neeti Vance has always known what her life is supposed to look like. Sterling University Law School. A partnership at her father's firm. A suitable marriage. Her family's expectations weren't spoken - they were simply assumed, written into every dinner conversation, every disappointed sigh, every time her brother Thomas corrected her in front of others.Then, on a suffocating July evening, she posts a single comment on a literary forum - a breath of genuine thought she cannot hold back. NeilC replies. Not to correct her. Not to win the argument. But to truly engage.What begins as a debate about Anna Karenina becomes the most honest conversation of Neeti's life. And as that connection deepens, the walls her family built around her begin to crack - not from the outside, but from within.Spanning 55 chapters across Neeti's first year at Sterling, The Hidden Connection Is No Longer Hidden is a novel about what happens when one person finally decides to become themselves - and everything the people around her will do to stop it.
