Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of Inheritance and host of the hit podcast Family Secretsā€”ā€œa bona fide page turnerā€ (The New York Times Book Review) about the mysteries of teenage pain and family crisis.

Rachel Jensen is perfectly happy: in love with her husband, devoted to their daughter Kate, gratified by her work restoring art. And finally, sheā€™s pregnant again. But as Rachel discovers, perfection can unravel in an instant. The summer she is thirteen, Kate returns from camp sullen, angry, and withdrawn. Everyone assures Rachel itā€™s typical adolescent angst. But then Kate has a terrifying accident with her infant brother, and the ensuing guilt brings forth a dreadful lieā€”one that ruptures their family, perhaps irrevocably.
