Publisher's Synopsis
Thomas Wolfe said: "You can't go home again," and most of us know that, but it doesn't mean wanting to recapture just one good memory about our family isn't powerful enough to draw us back over and over again.
Harriett Markham and her lover, Jess Raines have finally settled into a comfortable relationship together following a harrowing and disturbing case when their peaceful life is interrupted by a plea from a high school friend of Harriett's, who has been arrested for the murder of a fellow teacher. Their investigation drags them both into a past they'd rather forget and forces them to acknowledge their seemingly perfect life might not be quite so perfect to the rest of their family.
Every family has secrets they'd prefer to not share, even with the people they love most. A trip to Harriett's home town re-opens old wounds for both Harriett and Jess that will either force their families together again or rip them apart forever.
