Two sisters and a horrific secret are the core around which this story revolves. One sister, Allison, has just been released from prison. She hopes to reconnect with the other sister, Brynn. However Brynn just wants to forget Allison and what happened between them 5 years ago. Allison's persistence, and the presence of a little boy who may hold the key to what really happened, move the story along as it is told from multiple points of view.
There is a lot of suspense to this novel, as it is one where secrets are gradually revealed. I could empathize with all of the women who faced such tough circumstances and were trying to survive. The ending took a turn that I thought was kind of bizarre though. A good pick if you complicated family dramas with a lot of interpersonal drama and suspense. Book clubs should enjoy discussing it as well.
