Publisher's Synopsis
Lois and Carly-May are just twelve years old when they're abducted, driven across the country, and imprisoned in a remote, isolated hunting lodge for two months. That summer, under the watchful gaze of their kidnapper, they form a bond which will never be broken. Decades later, both Lois and Carly-May have built new lives and identities for themselves. Lois, a professor of literature, is shaken when an obsessive student reminds her of the man who kidnapped her, a man she saw shoot himself on the porch twenty years before. Out in LA, Carly-May is drinking too much and watching her beauty-queen looks fade. When she reads a shockingly familiar screenplay, she warily takes a role she knows is based on events from her own life. Increasingly haunted by the devastating experience, Lois and Carly-May are drawn together again in a world that both echoes and falsifies their story.
