Welcome to West Wilmer. Where everyone knows everyone.
And where everyone has a secret.
No one in the small, claustrophobic town of West Wilmer can forget Phoebe Dean. It’s been ten years since the car crash that tragically took her life, yet one question lingers: Why did her brother, Grant, wait twenty-seven minutes to call for help after the accident?
All these years later, Grant is still consumed by memories of that night and of Phoebe—and the secret he’s been keeping since then.
While everyone in West Wilmer has spent the last decade mourning Phoebe, June Delroy has been searching for her brother. Wyatt disappeared without a trace the same night that Phoebe was killed—but no one seems to remember him or know where he may have gone.
Then, days before the anniversary of Phoebe’s death and Wyatt’s disappearance, someone appears at June’s door. This person knows what really happened that night—and they’re ready to tell the truth.
“A masterful collision course of pain, sorrow, and grief that sliced open my veins and tore out my heart.” —Samantha M. Bailey
