Synopsis

A new stand-alone novel from the award winning, New York Times Bestselling author, Laura Lippman. In this next thrilling stand alone novel, a successful memoirist returns home to Baltimore to see if she can find a new angle for her next book. She decides that she will braid a modern story about a former classmate, accused of a heinous crime, with a reminiscence of her grade-school years, and she turns to old friends to help her. But as she digs deeper into the tragedy surrounding her old classmate, she begins to see that everything she thought she knew about her life might be quite different. And if she wants to pursue the truth in this modern-day story, she may have to pay the price of living with the truths she missed about the past.
All in all, it is a book about the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, a book about whether anyone truly owns any story, even the story of one s own life.
