You won't be able to turn the pages fast enough!” --Romily Bernard, author of the Find Me trilogy In Pintip Dunn’s gripping and timely novel, a young woman whose life unravels in the wake of her mother’s alleged suicide sets out to clear her name. “The mother I knew would never do those things. But maybe I never knew her after all.” Clothes, jokes, coded messages...Cecilia Brooks and her mom shared everything. At least, CeCe thought they did. Six months ago, her mom killed herself after accusations of having sex with a student, and CeCe’s been the subject of whispers and taunts ever since. Now, at the start of her high school senior year, between dealing with her grieving, distracted father, and the social nightmare that has become her life, CeCe just wants to fly under the radar. Instead, she’s volunteering at the school’s crisis hotline—the same place her mother worked. As she counsels troubled strangers, CeCe’s lingering suspicions about her mom’s death resurface. With the help of Sam, a new student and newspaper intern, she starts to piece together fragmented clues that point to a twisted secret at the heart of her community. Soon, finding the truth isn’t just a matter of restoring her mother’s reputation, it’s about saving lives—including CeCe’s own... “A twisty, fast-paced thriller that kept me guessing to the end.”—Shannon Grogan, author of From Where I Watch You “This one will tug your heart and leave you breathless!”--Natalie D.

From an Edgar Award winner, this abduction story is “a compulsive page turner that will have readers cheering on the decidedly unglamorous heroine” (Kirkus Reviews). Dorrie White should be content with her life. She has a steady job, a loving husband. But Dorrie also has a secret—one that has caught up with her. When she was a teenager in high school, Dorrie got pregnant and put her baby up for adoption. When she discovers her daughter, Juliet, lives nearby, she can’t help but keep tabs on the girl. But the maternal urge to be close to her child turns into every mother’s nightmare when, right before Dorrie’s eyes, Juliet is abducted at a suburban shopping mall, forced into a van that quickly drives away. Stricken, Dorrie does the only thing any mother would: she goes after her. Only to put herself at the mercy of a psychopath, sending her devoted husband on a desperate search to bring her home again. As Dorrie and Juliet struggle together to survive captivity, Dorrie is forced to confront her own dark past. “A fast-paced, edge of your seat thriller.” —Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times–bestselling author of The Overnight Guest “A darkly riveting read . . . Compelling.” —Wendy Corsi Staub, New York Times–bestselling author of The Other Family “A truly unique and fascinating heroine.” —Alison Gaylin, USA Today–bestselling author of And She Was
