The Stealing is a story of an independent young women's journey and struggle to escape the control of a domineering father and find life's purpose, meaning, love and happiness.

Jesse Stevens needs to escape her past, start a new life and feel safe.” The rugged coastline and tight-knit community of Castleby offers her that chance. Her new job with the local lifeboat crew gives her the stability and comfort she craves. Her skipper, Doug Brodie, faces his own demons. He is struggling with survivor’s guilt, physical and mental scars, and a marriage teetering on the brink. Jesse is desperate to put aside the dark nightmares and terrible memories. 

As she and Doug grow closer, she wonders whether she can ever really live a normal life and be happy. But Jesse is in grave danger. Someone is watching her; trying to control and manipulate her life. Someone plans to make her life a living nightmare and return her to the hell she thought she had left behind. Will she ever be free?

Redefining Selfish - Carolyn Hobdey
