Description
There are places in the backwoods of Maine where things can and do get buried for a very, very long time.
After twenty years, Kallie Douglas is headed back to Somerfield, Maine, the one place on earth she promised herself she'd never return. She isn't staying long, just long enough to say goodbye to an old friend who has passed away and to take care of the estate left in her care. But when an old newspaper clipping surfaces detailing a missing person's case near her family's home, Kallie suddenly finds herself haunted by a series of dark memories and unsettling questions she can't answer.
Pursuing those questions means staying in a town where people make their own rules and don't take kindly to outsiders who ask too many questions. But Somerfield's past is Kallie's past. It's secrets, her secrets, and soon it becomes clear that in order to move on with her life, she must find the strength to confront long-buried family secrets-and come face to face with her past. Even if it means putting her own life in danger, because she knows it will.

This was a fabulous book, I did not realise this was a debut novel and I will definitely be following this author from now on. Wonderful characters that bring the whole story to life. I really felt I got to know them as the book progressed and I really cared about what happened to them. The story takes you on a journey that create many emotions in you as a reader and that is what made this book so special.
I highly recommend this book, absolutely brilliant and encourage all to take a chance on this, I am sure you will not regret it. Thank you to Netgally and the publisher for allowing me to review this book , it was a pleasure.

This was an amazingly good debut novel. I was literally hooked from the first chapter when we get a look into what happened when kallie was ten . Twenty years later she's headed back to Maine and confronts the nightmares she has about her early childhood when her "mother" abandoned her. I couldn't put this book down once I started reading. I couldn't stop

What a great debut novel!!!! I would be lying if I didn't say I was a little hesitant and a lot intrigued and so, so glad I picked up this book.
This was an emotional, heartbreaking road to the ultimate redemption. I don't want to give anything away, so I will say there are some wonderful characters, a couple truly evil/twisted characters, heartbreak, happiness, tears, friendship, and the best part, a bond that never should have been severed, but was ultimately repaired.
I look forward to more of Karla's books.
