Something happened to her mother that night. Something no one wants to talk about. But she's determined to uncover her family's dark secrets, even if they bury her.
Five-year-old Sloane McBride couldn't sleep that night. Her parents were arguing again, their harsh words heating the cool autumn air. And then there was that other sound--the ominous thump before all went quiet.
In the morning, her mother was gone. The official story was that she left. Her loving, devoted mother! That hadn't sat any better at the time than it did when Sloane moved out at eighteen, anxious to leave her small Texas hometown in search of anywhere else. But not even a fresh start working as a model in New York could keep the nightmares at bay. Or her fears that the domineering father she grew up with wasn't just difficult--he was deadly.
Now another traumatic loss forces Sloane to realize she owes it to her mother to find out the truth, even if it means returning to a small town full of secrets and lies, a jilted ex-boyfriend and a father and brother who'd rather see her silenced. But as Sloane starts digging into the past, the question isn't whether she can uncover what really happened that night...it's what will remain of her family if she does?
JULIE'S REVIEW ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great page turner, took me a couple of chapters to get totally enthralled.
A great storyline, twisting and turning, capturing the reader to take the journey with Sloane as she navigates her way to seek the truth.
She wasn’t trying to dishonour anyone, just wanted to get to the truth.
A book full of suspense, keeps you guessing right along with her.
I loved the interaction between all the other characters, how they played their part in unfolding the truth to the surface.
I loved that Sloane and Micah got to get a second chance, even if they were both in denial at first.
Two faced friends, as much as I enjoyed seeing her get her comeuppance, she did start out just wanting to reclaim her friendship back, and to have Sloan help her in the end, shows how genuine a person she really was.
I loved the weaving of the storyline, with the past, all the ends knitting together.
A second chance love story, with a great suspenseful story, plus betrayal and a strong lack of trust.
I’ve been through a tough personal time, so reading has been very sporadic but Brenda’s story had me turning the pages, had my interest and I was sad to see it end.
