This is extremely hard for me to remember since I read this when I was in 4th grade, but I'll try.
Okay, so this girl (who I remember being a teenager) lived in this small town/village (leaning towards village here) and had an abusive father who, if I remember correctly, would punish her if she did anything he did not ask and if she did not complete the things he told her to, and would punish her publicly in front of all the other residents. The residents felt bad, and would warn her if her father was in a bad mood.
So she gets in trouble once more and is warned, and she decides to run away (the last straw I guess?). Her mother was not in the picture because I guess she just decided to leave?
So then she runs away into the forest and is found (?) by some other girl, and an adult male, whose name I think was Caleb. I remember his character being cold and kinda mean.
Thiiiis is where it gets fuzzy so I will have to skip a few parts here... For some reason, she leaves their home and after that gets some sort of vision of her mom, walking with someone. She is trying to call out to her and tries to pull her hand away from the person she was walking with, and realizes that the person her mom is walking with is that guy Caleb, and they seem like they are in love or something. She gets emotional and starts to cry and tells her mom to get away from him (I don’t know why) and that is basically all I remember.
I read it in probably 2015, and I don’t think I finished it (maybe because the school year was about to end)
The cover I cannot remember clearly, but I can kinda see it having not much on it, and the title of the book being something short, like one word? Don’t take my word for it.
This book was probably meant for older kids, as it scared me when I was 10, but I had a high reading level so I often read books for the older kids.
