Description

Amber Glass has spent decades escaping the shadow of a shocking night at her high-school prom, when she was branded “Prom Mom” after the death of her newborn. Now living far from Baltimore and determined to keep her carefully rebuilt life intact, Amber is forced to confront the past she has tried to outrun. As old accusations resurface, the novel explores the precarious boundary between public judgment and private truth, examining memory, motherhood, class, and the lasting consequences of a single night. With psychological depth and sharp social insight, it asks whether anyone can ever truly escape the story others have written about them.
