Bellhaven, South Carolina, 1955.
Shelby Montgomery has spent her life doing what is expected of her - the right family, the right future, the path already laid before her.
Then she meets Jacob McKenna, and for one secret summer, she lets herself want something of her own.
She could not have known what it would cost. One reckless season, one night that changes everything, and a price that will be paid quietly, for years, by people who never chose to pay it.
And then the road runs out.
What happens in the years that follow, no one could have foreseen - least of all the people whose lives a single buried secret will quietly, inevitably draw together. Some debts are not forgotten. Some wrongs do not rest. And what was taken in the dark has a way, in time, of stepping back into the light.
Because some secrets don't stay buried.
And some truths never stop searching for their way home.
For readers of Kristin Hannah, Lisa Wingate, and Patti Callahan Henry.
