Publisher's summary

When the call finally comes, my life as I know it is over—my job as a teacher, my marriage, my family are all gone. In a heartbeat, I’ve lost everything that ever mattered to me. All because of one secret and what someone thinks she saw....

As I sit in the school’s office, listening to the accusations being made against me, I wonder how I got here. As they discuss what they think I did, words begin to jumble in my mind: “a video”, “blurred figures”...I don’t know how to explain that they’ve got it all wrong. Instead, I think back over the last few months and try to pinpoint the exact moment when I allowed a secret to ruin my life.

I squeeze my eyes shut. I’ve been so stupid, I can see that now. Because I know who told them I did this. But it’s just not true, I would never cross that line. So why would she do this to me, after all we’ve been through? What possible reason could she have to shatter my life into a million pieces?

When I open my eyes, my colleagues are staring at me, waiting for answers. I take a deep breath. It’s time to tell them what really happened. It’s time to tell them the truth.

An emotionally gripping and totally unputdownable story about the complexities of love, female friendship, and betrayal. This audiobook will stay with you long after you finish it and is perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty, and Susan Lewis.

This did have a slow start. once it took off though, it was really great. The characters were well written and there are not alot to keep up with. Great narration!

Good setting - boarding school in northern Maine

The story concept was interesting, with a twist . Could pick up the pace of the action in the beginning. Two great narrators !!
