What to expect
Growing up with her younger siblings in the unforgiving New Zealand bush, Effie believed their parents had cut them off from civilisation because they loved nature. She never suspected that their reasons might be more menacing. After witnessing a terrifying episode of violence, she escaped the wilderness to forge a new life for herself halfway across the globe.
Now, when she learns that the only witness to a murder is a little girl who looks just like her, Effie is compelled to return to the scene of her troubled childhood, where the secrets of her upbringing and the terrors of her past come rushing back to the surface. In order to find out once and for all what became of her family – and possibly help this mysterious girl who could be her younger self – Effie must face her greatest fears once more.
