“Amber traced the silver lines across her groin, which marked her first severing from her daughter, the first sign of their physical distance.”

Amber's faith has brought her to a new marriage and a small town - a home where she and her children can flourish. But small towns have secrets that are hard to keep buried.

Amber’s choice: which duty will she ultimately be loyal to – that of mother, of wife, or of faith.

Kenyon's debut novel is a gripping thriller. The beautiful prose tells of her talents as a poet, with carefully chosen language that creates the chilling feeling of uncertainty for Amber in her new life. Each chapter has you questioning every character you meet. I continued to try to guess the next turns, but this read was truly unpredictable.

This is one for fans of Gillian Flynn or Paula Hawkins: dark, cryptic, and consuming.
