After her initial shock, Rhonda feels shame and then immense blame and guilt for not going to the rescue of the child. The crime also takes her back to a time in her past when a close playmate of hers was abducted.

Driven by her guilt, Rhonda joins the efforts to try to find the missing child, all the while flooded with memories of her playmate’s abduction, and getting closer and closer to the truth about what happened all those many years ago.

Another childhood friend becomes the center of suspicion, and Rhonda must wade through both the past and the present to find the truth that lies not only in the present, but also in the murky past.

This is Jennifer McMahon's second book after debut novel: Promise Not to Tell, released in April of 2007. Not only is this another book of seat-grabbing mystery but also a wonderful coming-of-age story that holds the reader’s attention.
