From the author of the international bestseller The Nightingale
For eighteen years, Jude Farraday has prioritized her children's needs over her own, and the result is evident – her twin children, Mia and Zach, are two smart and happy teenagers. When Lexie Baill moves to their small, closed-off town, Jude is the first to welcome her. Lexie, a former foster child with a dark past, quickly becomes Mia's best friend. Zach falls in love with Lexie, and the three of them become inseparable.
Jude does everything she can to protect her children, but the last year of high school is a trial for everyone. A dangerous, explosive time filled with alcohol, cars, parties, and kids eager to let loose. And then, on a warm summer night, due to a wrong decision, the Farraday family is torn apart and Lexie loses everything. In the years that follow, everyone must face the consequences of that night and find a way to forget... or the strength to forgive.
Vivid, universal, and emotionally complex, this book addresses issues of motherhood, identity, love, and forgiveness. A bright, heartfelt novel that tackles both the incredible pain of loss and the astonishing power of hope.
Kristin Hannah, at her best, tells an unforgettable story about a girl's yearning for family, the resilience of the human heart, and the strength required to forgive those we love.
