When sixteen-year-old Emily Anderson was hit by a car, she woke up screaming a stranger’s name.

Ever since, Emily’s dreams have been replaced by the memories of others — and she still doesn’t know who “Barrett” is. Now twenty-eight, she’s never had the courage to move out of her childhood home in Toronto; until a Vancouver university offers her the chance to study a Master of Medical Ethics. Encouraged, Emily latches onto it as a catalyst for change.

There, she meets self-assured Nova Scotian, David Mathis, who seems to have an unjustified hatred for Vancouver’s most esteemed family, the Roths. But when she’s introduced to the spirited CFO of Roth Pharmaceuticals, Emily discovers that he and David are locked in a bitter family feud. And she can’t seem to stay away from either of them…

When David starts suffering from an unexplained illness, Emily realizes that the Roth-Mathis rivalry hides a far more insidious threat. Adamant to prove her independence, Emily goes in search of the truth — desperate to pinpoint the origin of David’s illness before it consumes him.

Dripping with suspense until the last page, The Veil of Oppression explores the complexity of family history, the formative connection between father and son, and how friendships are forged on the grounds of an invisible battlefield.
