But when tragedy turns Edie’s world upside down, she’s thrown out of the comforting embrace of a childhood once and for all. Twenty years later, with a young family of her own, Edie is called back home. And now she’s full of questions: What happened to the people who still haunt her dreams? How long can family secrets remain hidden? And what became of the things that, at sixteen, Edie knew were true?” – Back cover.
