Description
In the seemingly idyllic suburbs of Washington D.C. during the summer of 1972, a chilling event shatters the peace when the body of a young boy is discovered. Through the eyes of nine-year-old Marsha Eberhardt, readers are drawn into a world where innocence collides with unspeakable darkness. This novel masterfully explores the ripple effects of a child's murder, delving into themes of hidden secrets, the loss of childhood, and the unsettling realities lurking beneath a polished surface. As the nation grapples with political upheaval, this quiet community is forced to confront its own buried truths, questioning the very nature of safety and trust.
