Summary:

Five-year-old Sloane McBride couldn't sleep that night. Her parents were arguing again, their harsh words heating the cool autumn air. And then there was that other sound, the ominous thump before all went quiet. In the morning, her mother was gone. Sloane moved out at eighteen, anxious to leave her small Texas hometown in search of anywhere else. Now another traumatic loss forces Sloane to realize she owes it to her mother to find out the truth, even if it means returning to a small town full of secrets and lies, a jilted ex-boyfriend and a father and brother who'd rather see her silenced.
