What to expect
One ran. One stayed. But who is…the good daughter?
Twenty-eight years ago, Charlotte and Samantha Quinn's childhoods were destroyed by a terrifying attack on their home. It left their mother dead. It left their father devastated. And it left the family consumed by secrets from that shocking night.
Now, Charlie is a respected lawyer. But when violence comes to their hometown again, the case triggers memories she's desperately tried to suppress. Because the devastating truth about the crime which destroyed their family won't stay buried forever…
The good daughter did everything right. But what if everything she knows is wrong?
