Trusting a cult leader? Obviously dicey. Trusting his daughter? A little less clear.
Catharine West seems to have it all: successful career, polished NYC life. What no one knows is she grew up in an isolated Florida community that wasn’t as serene as it seemed.
Until a journalist starts digging into her past. What begins as intrusive turns unavoidable. Because he might know what she’s never stopped wondering: What really happened to her sister?
Part psychological suspense, part coming-of-age reckoning, this novel asks how much of who we are comes from how we were raised — and how much we get to choose.
