  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  Reminiscent of Hello Beautiful and The Lying Life of Adults, this powerful narrative delves into social changes from 1970 to 2000 and captures a woman’s journey in a pre-#MeToo era via the tale of a mother who returns to her hometown to face the perpetrator of her childhood abuse. 
  When a girl feels complicit in her own abuse, how does that thwart the adult woman?  
  Welling to the surface are memories of a past Marti Farrell tried to bury. The catalyst is her teenage daughter, Tess, whose awakening sexuality is causing Marti an acute unease.  
  Marti makes an impulsive decision to return to the small Vermont town she ran away from thirty years earlier, an unwitting and unwilling Tess towed along for the journey, further escalating tension between them.  
  Seeking both forgiveness for lies told, and revenge for secrets held, Marti has a plan. But it all goes awry as she learns the full impact her deception has had on other people’s lives. There’s no more burying the past: Marti has to confront it to release its clutches. 
  What Was Lost shifts from the 1960’s to 2000 exploring the myriad ways people felt “othered”, and a young girl’s limited options in times before language such as “me, too” helped give voice to these all-too-common occurrences.

  Description：
  When Mia's boyfriend Ash vanishes, he leaves behind a chilling set of rules and a monthly deposit of $13,750. All she has to do is stay inside their luxurious villa. Simple, right? But the rules are terrifyingly specific: don't eat food with red eyes, don't wear the red fur in the closet, don't sleep on the bed if it bleeds. And a final, ominous warning: trust your roommates, but not completely. Mia dismisses it as a bizarre joke—until she learns Ash died the day before he was with her. Now, trapped within the villa's walls with her eerily compliant roommates—Scarlett, Mona, and Luna—Mia realizes the rules are a matter of life and death. A plate with human eyes appears at her door, and the line between reality and nightmare blurs. To survive and uncover the truth behind Ash's death, Mia must navigate a web of deception, supernatural horror, and the sinister secrets hidden in the very home meant to be her gilded cage. Can she follow the rules long enough to escape, or will breaking one be her last mistake?
