From the New York Times bestselling author of Love Walked In and
Belong to Me comes a profound and heart-rending story about a
horrific tragedy that marks one woman and her hometown and about
the explosive secrets that come to light twenty years later. Ginny
Beale is eighteen, irreverent, funny, and brave, with a brother she
adores and a circle of friends for whom she would do anything.
Because of one terrible night, she loses them all--and her
adventurous spirit--seemingly forever. While the town cheers on the
high school football team, someone sets the school's auditorium
ablaze. Ginny's best friend Gray Marsden's father, a fire fighter,
dies in the blaze. While many in the town believe a notoriously
troubled local teen set the fire, Ginny makes a shattering
discovery that casts blame on the person she trusts most in the
world. Ginny tells no one, but the secret isolates her, looming
between her and her friends and ruining their friendship. Over the
next two decades, Ginny puts aside her wanderlust and her dreams.
Moving back to her hometown, she distances herself from the past
and from nearly everyone in it. She marries a quiet man, raises
their daughter, Avery, and cares for her tyrannical, ailing mother,
Adela. But when Ginny's husband, Harris, becomes embroiled in a
scandal, Ginny's carefully controlled life crumbles, and, just when
she believes she is regaining her bearings, the secret she's kept
for twenty years emerges and threatens to destroy her hopes for the
future. With the help of fifteen-year-old Avery and of friends both
old and new, Ginny must summon the courage to confront old lies and
hard truths and to free herself and the people she loves from the
mistakes and regrets that have burdened them for so long.
