In this heart-wrenching coming-of-age story about family, grief, and
second chances, seventeen-year-old Emmy returns home for the summer to
uncover the truth behind her sister Rose's disappearance--only to learn
that Rose had many secrets, ones that have Emmy questioning herself and
the sister Emmy thought she knew.
When her sister Rose disappeared, seventeen-year-old Emmy lost a part of
herself. Everyone else seems convinced she ran away and will reappear
when she's ready, but Emmy isn't so sure. That doesn't make sense for
the Rose she knew: effervescent, caring, and strong-willed. So Emmy
returns to their Ohio hometown for a summer, determined to uncover clues
that can lead her back to Rose once and for all.
But what Emmy finds is a string of secrets and lies that she never
thought possible, casting the person she thought she knew best in a
whole new light. Reeling with confusion, Emmy decides to step into
Rose's life. She reconnects with their childhood best friend and follows
in Rose's last known footsteps with heart-wrenching consequences.
An honest and intimate look at sisterhood and the dark side of growing
up, Sarah Everett's latest novel is a stunning portrayal of how you can
never truly know the ones you love.
