About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling like an outsider in a new environment or expresses a deep fascination with how family history shapes our identity. It is an ideal pick for the teen who loves a layered mystery but is also grappling with the intense, sometimes overwhelming emotions of first love and the desire to uncover hidden truths. The story follows sixteen-year-old Lily, a new student who feels an instant, magnetic connection to a boy named Cole. Their bond leads them into a decades-old cold case involving a murder-suicide that rocked their town in the 1980s. As Lily investigates, she discovers her own life is strangely intertwined with the past. While the book deals with heavy themes like grief and betrayal, it serves as a powerful conversation starter about the cycle of family secrets and the importance of seeking justice for those who have been forgotten.
