~150 years later, young idealist Will Benning discovers his own family’s involvement with this group. Horrified, Benning flees his Southern home and heads for a friend in Boston. Hounded and desperate, he sells a box of odd and seemingly unrelated possessions, including two valuable Jefferson Bibles and a glass bottle filled with a strange dirt-like substance to rare book dealer, and ex-con, Quincy Adams Caine. That night, Benning is murdered, and Caine’s shop is burglarized. The bottle vanishes.

KINDLEAUDIBLE

This isn’t a survival story. It’s what comes after.

Everwoven: A Memoir. A Reckoning. invites you into the long, aching aftermath of trauma, the part most stories skip.

In fragmented vignettes, raw inner dialogue, and poetic reflections, Megan doesn’t just tell you what happened. She lets you into her mind as it unravels, remembers, resists, and rebuilds.

This book doesn’t offer a before-and-after arc or a neat conclusion tied with a bow. Instead, it brings you into the in-between; the place where healing isn’t linear, and becoming whole means learning how to live alongside what hurt you.
