Publisher's summary

On a dark night in the secluded backwoods of an Ohio landscape, fifteen-year-old Helen Wren kills a man, drags his body across the dirt and buries him. But why? And who? Her memory is blocked and the few scattered details that she can recall have only come out of recent dreams that have begun to consume her. It is during these nights terrors that the horrific account begins to emerge. She must work quickly now to remember, for there is reason to believe the authorities are on her track. She hasn't shared her nightmares with anyone for fear of not being believed, but after witnessing two old men next door attempting to hide something in their yard late at night—she doesn't see what—Helen has a sudden breakthrough in memory. The dreams and details intensify. Finally, desperate to share her story with someone, Helen confides in a new friend, who, with Helen, attempts to examine the murder. The two work together to follow theories and leads, but as they do, they realize the potential impact of their pursuit. Distrust sets in and loyalties are tested. Helen is no longer sure who she can trust. Helen thought her dark dreams were the worst thing she's ever had to endure. They were. Until she learns the truth.
