Twenty-eight years ago a North Carolina governor's young
pregnant wife was kidnapped. Now her remains have been
found and a man charged with her murder. Only one person —
CeeCee Wilkes — can refute the charges against him. But
CeeCee disappeared years ago.…
Eve Elliot is a successful therapist to troubled students,
a loving wife, a mother deeply invested in her family. But
her happiness is built on a lie. When she was a lonely,
vulnerable young woman, a single decision made in
innocence led to a dark night of unimaginable
consequences. Now, forced to confront her past, she faces
another terrible choice: reveal to her family that she is
not who she seems, or allow a man to take the blame for a
crime she knows he did not commit. If the choice affected
only her life, Eve is certain she would do what is right.
But though inaction means condemning an innocent man, it
also means protecting her family from the mistakes of her
past.
Corinne Elliot has always known she was different: the
only redhead in a family of brunettes, the paralyzing
shyness that contrasts with her sister's vivaciousness,
the many fears — of highways, of bridges, of public
spaces — that constrict her daily life. Still, with a new
job possibility and a baby on the way, she's found some
measure of happiness — until the day she turns on the
television and finds her mother's image on-screen.
Now, as the past explodes into the present, Corinne must
confront the secrets she has always intuited, and find
answers from the one person who knows the truth of what
happened over two decades ago — CeeCee Wilkes.
