The idea of a loving foster home on an idyllic farm for three young girls escaping tragic home lives seems perfect. But life with Miss Fairchild, their foster mother, is not easy for Jessica, Norah and Alicia. There are rules…rules that are immutable and always enforced by Miss Fairchild, who can be very unpredictable.
The girls break free from Miss Fairchild, but their past catches up when a body is discovered under the home where they were fostered. As they revisit their younger lives, secrets will be revealed and loyalties tested. Are they witnesses or suspects? What do they remember and what does it mean?
Is this book a mystery or a thriller? It’s both. The author unfurls the clues and motivations carefully building the suspense until the final reveal.
