That was the night before her friend mysteriously vanished from her home, leaving a bloodstained washcloth and signs of a struggle--as well as her grieving husband and young daughter--behind. Now, nearly twenty years later, Nicola, newly unemployed and still haunted by the disappearance of her childhood friend, is returning to her Appalachian hometown. For Nicola, Tyndall County has remained frozen in time. Everywhere she turns she's reminded of Lauren. Yet shockingly, her former friends and neighbors have all moved on. Drawn to stories of missing girls, Nicola obsessively searches the internet, hoping to discover a clue to Lauren's ultimate fate. Driven by a desperate need to know what happened to her friend, Nicola takes a job in her hometown, determined to uncover any bit of information, any small clue, that can help. Deep down she knows the answers are tucked in the hollows and valleys of this small Blue Ridge county. As secrets come to light and the truth begins to unravel, will Nicola finally find release and break free of the past--or lose herself completely to unanswered questions from her adolescence? 650 0 $a Missing persons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Female friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Secrecy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Small cities $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Homecoming $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cold cases (Criminal investigation) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Appalachian Region $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 13 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409044455.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025342.0 952 $l XEPE697 $d 20240130010357.0 952 $l DMPC403 $d 20231121010317.0 952 $l WXPD305 $d 20230919010900.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20230915011010.0 952 $l DYPD423 $d 20230829010308.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230802012812.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230713113944.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230706011106.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230706010439.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20230706010102.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230701010049.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8DDED03217D411EEB984481F40ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
