What to expect
A crime committed in desperation is brought to light generations later, in this emotional saga of family love, loyalty, and lies . . .
When Honey McCarthy inherits a small box of trinkets from her beloved great-aunt Beryl, she expects keepsakes—not secrets. But hidden inside is something far more dangerous: a confession to a terrible crime committed on a freezing December night in 1940, as German bombs fell over Manchester.
Beryl carried that secret for decades.
Now it belongs to Honey.
As the truth begins to take shape, Honey faces an impossible choice. Expose what really happened and risk tearing her family apart or lock the past away again, where it can do no more harm.
Then she meets Levi.
Charming, enigmatic, and carrying secrets of his own, Levi offers to help unravel the mystery. Drawn to him in ways she can’t quite explain, Honey finds herself trusting him with more than just the truth. But the deeper they dig, the darker the past becomes.
