“Tackling crucial themes, In Our Blood is written with the rhythm of a songwriter and the grace of a dancer.”
— Indies Today, five-star review
When Caitlin Billings became a therapist, she did so with an intention to heal from her past. She wasn’t planning on a mental health relapse or an involuntary psychiatric hold. She was a mother now. A mental health professional. She thought the issues she’d faced in her past were dealt with, tucked away forever.
She was wrong.
