Thirty years ago, three high school friends were closer
than sisters, but a dark, emotional secret tore them
apart. Now, back together at their high school reunion,
each of them are tormented and haunted that their greatest
fear will come to light.
Renetta Jones' childhood had been anything but happy.
After her mother walked out on them, Renetta was left to
live with an unsympathetic father and her own
insecurities. She fell for the first man to come along
after high school, and spent years in an abusive marriage
with a man named Vincent, who used her secret to control
and punish her. That is, until he suffered an untimely
stroke, under questionable circumstances.
Phyllis Neville sacrificed everything for her career,
including her marriage to a man she'll love forever, and a
positive relationship with her adult daughter. But when
she is passed over for the promotion of a lifetime, it's
just the first thing to go wrong in her once perfect life
as the past rears its ugly head.
Freddie Palmer is bored by the routine that her life has
become. Married thirty years to her husband, Don, the two
of them have become empty-nesters and Freddie is anxious
to start the next phase of her life. After meeting
successful author, Bianca Hightower, at a local bookstore
signing, Freddie decides to take her passion for reading
to the next level and signs up for writing classes being
taught by her new author friend. But Bianca sees potential
in Freddie that transcends simply writing, and introduces
her to the kinds of experiences a woman like Freddie never
even knew existed. But when the past catches up to her, it
becomes one more dark secret she's not sure she'll be able
to keep.
Tasha Darden has lived her life in foster care, and has
finally gathered up the courage to try to find her birth
mother. One of the three women holds the answers she seeks
and she will stop at nothing until she gets them.
