Can Henrietta find out what happened to Annie's sister--before it's
too late?
Haunted by the past, Henrietta throws herself into a new job
transcribing other people's life stories, vowing to stick to the facts
and keep emotions at arm's length. But when she meets the eccentric and
terminally ill Annie, she finds herself inextricably drawn in. And when
Annie reveals that her sister drowned in unexplained circumstances in
1974, Henrietta's methodical mind can't help following the story's loose
ends...
Unlike Henrietta, Annie is brimming with confidence--but even she has
limits when it comes to opening up. Ever since that terrible night when
her sister left a pile of clothes beside the canal and vanished, Annie
has been afraid to look too closely into the murky depths of her
memories. When her attempts to glide over the past come up against
Henrietta's determination to fill in the gaps, both women find
themselves confronting truths they'd thought were buried
forever--especially when Henrietta's digging unearths a surprising
emotional connection between them.
Could unlocking Annie's story help Henrietta rewrite the most
devastating passages in her own life? And, in return, can she offer
Annie a final twist in the tale, before it's too late?
