A mother and daughter fight to reconcile just as a decades-old secret threatens to shatter their fragile peace in this powerful story from the bestselling author of The Echo of Old Books.
For social worker Mallory Ward, helping at-risk youth is a calling. But when one of her clients is tragically killed, she finds herself at a crossroads. Seeking clarity—and still carrying deep resentments toward her distant mother—Mallory retreats to her childhood home on the Rhode Island coast. Instead of peace, she’s confronted by the past: renewed tensions with her mother and the unexpected return of someone tied to the wrenching losses that drove her away ten years ago.
Helen Ward’s coastal home is filled with keepsakes from decades spent caring for the terminally ill, tangible reminders of the lives she eased but at the cost of the relationship with her daughter. So when Mallory appears unannounced, Helen hopes it’s a rare chance to mend what’s been broken.
But hidden among Helen’s mementos are pieces of her own past—and a devastating secret that could destroy the fragile trust Mallory and Helen are just beginning to rebuild.
