Description
Ellen has spent years trying to escape her haunted past—a reckless youth spent with a traveling carnival, a marriage born of desperation, and a child she could never bond with. Now, with a new husband, two beloved children, and a life built on carefully constructed normalcy, she believes she has finally left those dark days behind, drowning her memories in alcohol and prayer. But when the carnival returns to town, the fragile walls of her carefully constructed existence begin to crumble, threatening to expose the secrets she's buried and endanger the family she's fought so hard to protect. Owen West crafts a haunting exploration of how the past refuses to stay buried, and the devastating consequences when old sins resurface. This gripping psychological thriller examines the price of reinvention and the terrifying vulnerability of those we love most.
