A small-town scandal. A reinvention in the city. A past that refuses to stay buried.

At sixteen, Isobel is blamed for a tragedy that tears her family apart and leaves her cast out in a town that never forgives. Twenty years later, she has rebuilt her life in Glasgow, but when the past resurfaces, she must confront buried secrets and decide who she really is — and what she’s willing to risk to protect the life she’s built.
