What if . . .
The Story
He Follows Me is a fictional alternative ending to Kathryn Caraway's award-winning novel, Unfollow Me. After writing her true crime memoir, Kathryn was struck by the question: what if there was a program, a lifeline, a means of escape not just from the stalker but from the psychic debris left in the wake of his obsession? From this, He Follows Me was written.
​
Todd Bennett is getting out of jail—and he hasn’t forgotten Kathryn. The government offers her a lifeline: new name, new life, new country. When the government offers her a lifeline—new name, new life, new country—Kathryn clings to it, desperate for escape. But freedom comes at a cost, and safety is only an illusion.
​
Deputy U.S. Marshal Wes Kade is supposed to protect her. But he doesn’t care about feelings. He cares about results. Cold, disciplined, and relentless, he has built a career on keeping people alive. But something about him doesn’t add up. His secrets run deep, and his loyalty isn’t clear.
Kathryn realizes this isn’t personal—it’s war. With time running out and nowhere left to hide, Kathryn must confront the chilling truth: the real danger may not be the man she’s running from, but the one she’s counting on.
Our mission is to promote awareness of stalking and its impact on victims through meaningful education and action.
Victims of stalking often struggle to get law enforcement to intervene because the definition of stalking, which varies from state to state, is loosely defined as a pattern of behavior that causes a reasonable person to feel fear. This can be a difficult element for victims in presenting their case to law enforcement. Many well-intentioned organizations promote incident logs as a defense against stalking, which are essential; however, logs alone are simply not enough. See our “Tips” tab for more information.
