I'm Here to Help : A Novel

To stop the corruption in her small town and avenge the victims, a therapist turns vigilante in a shocking novel of psychological suspense by the bestselling author of Jane Doe. Melody Stanford prides herself on being a good person. She’s a loving wife and mother, a school volunteer, a faithful friend, and a trusted therapist with a sympathetic ear. But underneath her calm and collected veneer, Melody is raging. The vulnerable women she counsels are breaking down and telling their secrets, exposing a prominent attorney and other influential men in Melody’s small North Carolina town for the predators they are—their heinous crimes protected by power, money, and connections. They’re not going to get away with it anymore. If the system won’t make these men pay, Melody will. One by one. What starts out as small acts of vengeance soon descends into something far more satisfying, dark, and just. But when her own personal life begins to unravel, Melody wonders what she’s ready to risk, and what line she’s willing to cross in the name of justice. Because once she does, there’s no going back. © 2026 by Victoria Helen Stone, all rights reserved.
