In this novel of escalating fear and suspense by Washington Post and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Minka Kent， a secret from a woman’s past unearths a lifetime of lies。 How long can she run from the past？

On her fortieth birthday， Celia Guest has reason to celebrate。 She has a loving marriage， a beautiful Connecticut home， and treasured friends。 Celia has everything she’s ever wanted。 But among the cards and well-wishes， she discovers a disturbing note: You don’t deserve any of this。

Who could be so cruel， so resentful， so…knowing？ Then， in the early morning hours， Celia vanishes without a trace。

As suspicions and concerns rise among Celia’s friends， her sister Genevieve， with whom she shares a fractured and troubling bond， starts to piece together a shattered life that Celia fled from once before。 As a foundation of lies begins to crumble， a terrifying childhood secret Celia thought was dead and buried comes to light。

And this time， there’s no getting away from the truth。
