A death throws Claire into a turbulent world—ultimately exposing thefamilial pattern of secrets and lies.Claire finds friendship and support from unlikely allies. Yet, it scares her whenher two worlds threaten to collide. She is afraid she won’t be able to hold onto whatmatters most.

It means accepting what she’s been taught instead of believing what she sees withher own eyes.For Claire, an untenable bargain.
