Nettie has spent every summer of her life in the Southern
Wiregrass town of Crystal Springs, Alabama. This year, she hopes the
small town’s relaxed pace will give her a break from the unrelenting
physical and emotional changes of puberty. But a chance encounter with
Mitchell, a seductively handsome yet secretive young man, turns
Nettie’s summer plans and her heart upside down.
As their relationship grows, Nettie realizes Mitchell is harboring a
dark and dangerous secret—one that, when revealed, rocks the core of
the sleepy little town and has Nettie and those she loves running for
their lives.
