Author Patricia Perry Donovan weaves her tale flawlessly,
testing the boundaries of family and friendship.
On the night of Alex Carmody’s sixteenth birthday, she and
her best friend, Cass, are victims of a terrible car accident. Alex survives;
Cass doesn’t. Consumed by grief, Alex starts cutting school and partying,
growing increasingly detached. The future she’d planned with her friend is now
meaningless to her.
Meg Carmody is heartbroken for her daughter, even as she’s
desperate to get Alex’s life back on track. The Birches, a boarding school in
New Hampshire, promises to do just that, yet Alex refuses to go. But when Meg
finds a bag of pills hidden in the house, she makes a fateful call to a
transporter whose company specializes in shuttling troubled teens to places
like The Birches, under strict supervision. Meg knows Alex will feel
betrayed—as will her estranged husband, who knows nothing of Meg’s plans for their
daughter.
When the transport goes wrong—and Alex goes missing—Meg must
face the consequences of her decision and her deception. But the hunt for Alex
reveals that Meg is not the only one keeping secrets.
“A powerful story about a mother’s efforts to save a
daughter; a story about love and family and betrayal. A perfect book club
book!” — Susan Breen, author of “The Fiction Class” and “Maggie Dove: A
Mystery.”
