The story begins with Allison Glenn being released from prison after serving five years. She is finally free, but unable to go home to her family. Her parents and former friends want nothing to do with the girl who, as a teenager, was once considered perfect in every way. One unspeakable night, the illusion was shattered.
Allison committed what is considered an unforgivable crime, the core of which is revealed in small moments throughout the book. But what really happened that night? Is it what everyone thinks?
Allison is hurt by the community's coldness, but her main concern is contacting one person - her younger sister, Brynn. Brynn was the one left behind to deal with the anguish of her parents, the stares and whisper of her schoolmates. Yet, she is the only other person who knows the truth of what happened that night -- the night everything changed and her sister ended up in prison.
As the story unfolds, the more heart-wrenching it becomes, with subtle surprises lurking throughout. I found myself unable to put the book down - I needed to know what happened. The ending was definitely shocking and not what I had expected. An excellent twist in the story left me breathless.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read.
