When her teenage daughter disappears, a grieving mother must put together the clues of her child’s sordid secret life to find the culprit. It’s every mother’s nightmare, but one she will not accept. . . . In an unthinkable flash, Emmy Fisher’s fifteen-year-old daughter, Leah, seemingly drowns close to shore one summer night—at least that is what the police report says. In deep grief, Emmy needs time and courage before she can enter Leah’s bedroom. But when she does, she finds something at first bewildering, then unspeakable, as she begins to understand the full implications. She uncovers evidence that Leah had been secretly involved with someone, someone perhaps older, someone with dark appetites.
