But when Robbie makes the stunning revelation that Papa George, Darby's own father, has molested him, her world is forever shattered.As Darby struggles to make sense of how this could have happened, childhood memories come flooding back to her-footsteps in the hallway at night, bedroom doors opening, and hushed voices, followed by arguments in the morning. Her family denies Robbie's allegation, and, in typical Coleman fashion, they attempt to sweep it all under the rug, accusing Darby of concocting this lie.Undeterred, Darby digs for the truth, uncovering even more family skeletons and mysteries that have transcended from generation to generation...
From debut author, Ursula Hughes, comes this riveting novel of family, loyalty, and the secrets that can ultimately break even the strongest of bonds.
