Lucinda Berry writes unexpected plot twists with the best of them! I was mad at the wrong person the whole way through this story. 

Abby, the teenage daughter of a missing woman turns out to be a much more complex character than expected. Her character development is perfection. Same for the stepmother, Meredith. 

When Abby's mother returns after going missing 11 years ago they all must adjust to a new normal. The secrets her mother keeps turn out to be more damaging than you might have guessed.
