Publisher's summary

An Amazon Charts and Washington Post bestseller.

“A relevant, compelling, and compassionate look at the torture of conflicted loyalties and the slipperiness of truth.” - Jenna Blum, New York Times bestselling author of Those Who Save Us and The Lost Family

In this evocative debut novel, Katrin Schumann weaves a riveting story of past and present - and how love can lead us astray.

At twenty-four, Katie Gregory feels like life is looking up: she’s snagged a great job in New York City and is falling for a captivating artist - and memories of her traumatic past are finally fading. Katie’s life fell apart almost a decade earlier, during an idyllic summer at her family’s cabin on Eagle Lake when her best friend accused her father of sexual assault. Throughout his trial and imprisonment, Katie insisted on his innocence, dodging reporters and clinging to memories of the man she adores.

Now he’s getting out. Yet when Katie returns to the shuttered lakeside cabin, details of that fateful night resurface: the chill of the lake, the heat of first love, the terrible sting of jealousy. And as old memories collide with new realities, they call into question everything she thinks she knows about family, friends, and, ultimately, herself. Now, Katie’s choices will be put to the test with life-altering consequences.

WOW

This story really hit deep with me and my past experiences. It had me balling for a few hours. I definitely recommend this as a good read, the book is well rounded with just about everything you can possibly ask for. I found it that it didn't lack in anything. Be ready for your heart to be ripped out and put back together.

So So

I feel that the ideas and story brought out by the author were good, but the book dragged on with what felt like forever. Katie was obsessed about finding the answers, But it took her until her father was almost release before she finally sought them. Things finally picked up the last few chapters. I rarely rate a book at 3 but since it took so long before it got really good I felt that was a fair rating.
The narrator was whispering And whiny most of the time.

Struggled to finish.

Was drawn out too long Story would be ok but it jumps around a lot & I just started loosing interest. Was happy when finished, ready to put the book down long before it was over.

Odd sounds on the recording

What’s up with the recording? The narrator did a fine job, but there were a lot of pauses and muffled banging around that got picked up in the recording.
Otherwise, the story was good.

excellent!
