In Pintip Dunn’s gripping and timely novel, a young woman
whose life unravels in the wake of her mother’s alleged
suicide sets out to clear her name.
“The mother I knew would never do those things. But maybe I
never knew her after all.”
Clothes, jokes, coded messages…Cecilia Brooks and her mom
shared everything. At least, CeCe thought they did. Six
months ago, her mom killed herself after accusations of
having sex with a student, and CeCe’s been the subject of
whispers and taunts ever since. Now, at the start of her
high school senior year, between dealing with her grieving,
distracted father, and the social nightmare that has become
her life, CeCe just wants to fly under the radar. Instead,
she’s volunteering at the school’s crisis hotline—the same
place her mother worked.
As she counsels troubled strangers, CeCe’s lingering
suspicions about her mom’s death resurface. With the help of
Sam, a new student and newspaper intern, she starts to piece
together fragmented clues that point to a twisted secret at
the heart of her community. Soon, finding the truth isn’t
just a matter of restoring her mother’s reputation, it’s
about saving lives—including CeCe’s own…
