"It's time to come Home. All five of you. Or else."
Saskia was a damaged, lonely teenager when she arrived at the lakeside
commune called Home. She was entranced by the tang of sourdough starter;
the midnight call of the loons; the triumph of foraging wild mushrooms
from the forest floor. But most of all she was taken with Abraham,
Home's charismatic leader, the North Star to Saskia and the four other
teens who lived there, her best and only friends.
Two decades later, Saskia is shuttered in her Connecticut estate,
estranged from the others. Her carefully walled life is torn open by
threatening letters. Unless she and her former friends return to the
land in rural Maine, the terrible thing they did as teenagers--their
last-ditch attempt to save Home--will be revealed.
From vastly different lives, the five return to confront their
blackmailer and reckon with the horror that split them apart. How far
will they go to bury their secret forever?
New York Times bestselling author Miranda Beverly-Whittemore's Fierce
Little Thing is a mesmerizing story of friendship and its reckonings.
