{"product_id":"a-friends-betrayal-umar-habib-9798316885350","title":"A Friend's Betrayal: Book 4 - Series: Echoes of Mercy","description":"Under the relentless buzz of fluorescent lights, Georgina Hart scans a pack of gum, her hands moving with the weary precision of a life stitched together from fragile threads-three years since a cabin fire swallowed her past, leaving her and her daughter Lily to build anew in a city that hums with restless energy. The retail store's stale air clings to her, a backdrop to a routine she's carved from the ashes: paycheck to paycheck, a leaky apartment, and a bond with Lily that holds her steady against lingering shadows. But when Sarah-a brash, magnetic coworker-slips into their orbit with gum-snapping charm and unsettling gifts, a splinter of unease pierces Georgina's hard-won calm. A keychain glints, nightmares stir, and a spectral figure from her past-the lady in white-whispers through the dark, her skeletal hands reaching for Lily.\u003cbr\u003eAs Georgina grapples with trust and a creeping dread she can't name, the story unfolds into a tense dance of loyalty and peril. A photograph ties Sarah to a shared history of fire and loss, while the city's rain-soaked streets blur into dreamscapes where the lady's hunger grows. With Lily slipping toward an unseen pull, Georgina must unravel the threads binding friend to foe, past to present-racing to shield her daughter from a force that thrives on lies and charm. What begins as a quiet life teeters on the edge of a storm, where every choice could mend their fragile world or unravel it completely, drawing them into a legacy that stretches beyond their own scars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Umar Habib\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798316885350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Umar Habib","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48851205914879,"sku":"9798316885350","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-friends-betrayal-umar-habib-9798316885350","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
