After her motherβs death, a teen pieces together the truth of her familyβs past and what her mom was hiding from in this thriller thatβs perfect for fans of Courtney Summers and Tiffany D. Jackson.
Harlow Ford has spent her entire life running, caught in her motherβs wake as they flit from town to town, hiding from a presence that Harlow isnβt even sure is real. In each new place, Harlow takes on a new name and personality, and each time they run, she leaves another piece of herself behind.
When Harlow and her mom set off on yet another 3 a.m. escape, they are involved in a car accident that leaves Harlowβs mother fatally wounded. Before she dies, she tells Harlow two things: where to find the key to a safety deposit box and to never stop running. In the box, Harlow finds thirty grand in cash, life insurance documents, and several fake IDs for both herself and her momβan on-the-run essentials kit. But Harlow also finds a photograph of her mom as a teenager with two other girls, the deed to a house in a town sheβs never heard of, and a handful of newspaper clippings discussing the disappearance of a woman named Eve Kennedy, Harlowβs grandmotherβ¦relics of a part of Harlowβs life she never knew existed.
With these tantalizing clues about her motherβs secrets and the power to choose her own future for the first time, Harlow realizes she has two choices: keep fleeing her momβs ghosts or face down the nebulous threat thatβs been hanging over her for her entire life.
