After her mother's death, a teen pieces together the truth of her
family's past and what her mom was hiding from in this thriller that's
perfect for fans of Courtney Summers and Tiffany D. Jackson.
Harlow Ford has spent her entire life running, caught in her mother's
wake as they flit from town to town, hiding from a presence that Harlow
isn't even sure is real. In each new place, Harlow takes on a new name
and personality, and each time they run, she leaves another piece of
herself behind.
When Harlow and her mom set off on yet another 3 a.m. escape, they are
involved in a car accident that leaves Harlow's mother fatally wounded.
Before she dies, she tells Harlow two things: where to find the key to a
safety deposit box and to never stop running. In the box, Harlow finds
thirty grand in cash, life insurance documents, and several fake IDs for
both herself and her mom--an on-the-run essentials kit. But Harlow also
finds a photograph of her mom as a teenager with two other girls, the
deed to a house in a town she's never heard of, and a handful of
newspaper clippings discussing the disappearance of a woman named Eve
Kennedy, Harlow's grandmother...relics of a part of Harlow's life she
never knew existed.
With these tantalizing clues about her mother's secrets and the power to
choose her own future for the first time, Harlow realizes she has two
choices: keep fleeing her mom's ghosts or face down the nebulous threat
that's been hanging over her for her entire life.
