Description

When eleven-year-old friends Ronnie and Alice find an unattended baby on a quiet neighborhood street, a seemingly innocent discovery sets off a devastating chain of events that shatters three families. Years later, the girls’ troubled histories—and the secrets surrounding Alice’s young mother, Helen—begin to surface as questions of guilt, memory, and responsibility collide. With psychological precision and steadily mounting tension, the novel explores the lasting consequences of childhood choices and the ways buried truths shape the lives of everyone involved.
