When she was younger, Claudia Aldridge’s reckless choices shattered a life, and she’s spent the years since reigning in her impulsive instincts to keep from hurting someone else.

Now she’s a polished professional, her past buried even from those closest to her. But when a local college student is found dead under chillingly familiar circumstances, Claudia spirals into an obsessive drive to learn the truth–even if it means risking everything she holds dear.

Ten years ago, Julie Portland accidentally killed her best friend, Reba. What's worse is she got away with it. Consumed by guilt, she left the small town of Lawrence Mill, Mississippi, and swore nothing would ever drag her back.

When Reba's first love begs Julie to come home to find the diary that Reba kept all those years ago, Julie's past comes back to haunt her. The diary could expose shameful memories Julie has been running from, but it could also unearth hidden truths…and reveal that Julie isn't the only one who feels responsible for Reba's death.
