She finds her professional life as a homicide detective meaningful, but her personal life is nonexistent. She’s stuck in the past. In order to move on, she must find closure. When she returns home to Alabama for the death of a childhood friend, she uses her acquired investigative skills to discover new clues concerning her brother’s disappearance. Beneath Kate Baldwin’s public persona as fashion designer lies a young woman carrying a heavy burden of guilt.

She approaches Scout’s homecoming with trepidation. Her daughter has the power to unravel the seams of her intricately crafted lies. The homecoming sparks old resentments. Decades old secrets are revealed, threatening lifelong friendship. Will a visit from the past bring family and friends back together again?
