Description
A successful memoirist returns to Baltimore and begins investigating the troubled history of a former classmate imprisoned after refusing to speak about her missing infant son. As she revisits the people and places of her own childhood, she discovers that memory is selective, stories are shaped by those who tell them, and the truth can be as elusive as it is painful. Blending psychological suspense with a richly observed portrait of family, friendship, class, and community, the novel explores the complicated boundary between lived experience and the narratives we create from it.
