Publisher's Synopsis
Everyone in Tenney's Harbor, Maine, has heard of the Garrison tragedy. A mysterious fire. A family of five reduced to one. For people like Pearl Haskins-whose dad was the caretaker of the Garrison property when the house went up in flames-the whispers about that night are more than upsetting. They hurt.With her disgraced father now trying to find steady work in between booze benders, Pearl's future doesn't reach beyond the country club, where she serves food to the rich townspeople who return every summer.This year, a group of privileged boys has made a point of sitting in Pearl's section. Though she's repulsed by everything they stand for, she's drawn to the quiet leader of the pack, Tristan-the last surviving Garrison-and the sadness coming off him in waves. Befriending the summer boys might irk her to her core, but inside their fold of elite parties and reckless whims could be answers to what happened the night of the fire.Hidden beneath the glittering facade of wealth and luxury, Pearl discovers a dark and twisted web of lies and betrayals that will change Tenney's Harbor forever.
