Sleeping Daddy

For Keith Higgins, the past is a curse, but his present is everything he could dream of… or so he thought. With twins on the way, he and wife, Ella, should be overjoyed. Yet Ella harbors a secret that Keith is about to uncover.

After a traumatic labor, Ella vanishes, thrusting Keith into single parenthood. Haunted by memories of his father’s cruelty and his past mistakes, Keith embarks on a journey to make things right. Starting with his own mother, whose abandonment weighs heavily on him even more so now that he's a single father. The only way to get answers is to track her down. But some questions are better left unasked, and some truths bring more pain than peace.

As Keith delves into the depths of his family’s troubled history, he discovers that some secrets are like the thorns guarding Sleeping Beauty’s slumber—painful and deeply embedded. In his search for answers, it is his daughter who, through her mere presence and the hope she embodies, becomes the catalyst for breaking the cycle of sorrow. In this poignant twist on the classic tale, it is the daughter who, through her innocence and strength, becomes the hero of the story. 

Sleeping Daddy is a heartfelt tale of a father's love, loss, and the quest to break the cycle of violence across generations. It's a journey that reveals the true strength found in love, forgiveness, and the courage to confront our deepest fears.
