A much-anticipated winter trip to their weekend cabin on the river turns dark when Mack and Nancy's twelve-year-old foster daughter, Soolie, bolts after seeing what she thinks is a dead body in a farm field.
In this sequel to Lost Graces-winner of the Atmosphere Press 2024 Book of the Year Award-psychiatrist Nancy Thomas makes the mistake of agreeing to treat a famous writer. As she and Mack grapple with Soolie's PTSD, they grow increasingly suspicious of a secretive bed-and-breakfast conference facility nearby. Their concerns launch them into a cascade of challenges more perilous than their winter canoeing on the tidal river.
Very little is as it seems in this fast-paced psychological thriller, involving a famous writer, a literary agent, a right-wing think tank, and a deeply flawed foster care system.

Helen Montague Foster returns with a gripping sequel to her award-winning Lost Graces, deepening the emotional and psychological stakes while delivering a briskly paced thriller rooted in moral ambiguity and emotional truth. At once a mystery, a family drama, and a commentary on institutional failures, this novel solidifies Foster's voice as a bold and intelligent force in psychological fiction. - Charnjit Gill, author of Pray Tell
Foster delivers a powerful sense of place...Credible psychological twists and turns will keep you from predicting the ending to this dynamic thriller. - Judith Bice, author of Hey, White Girl
Like the rivers she describes and navigates, Foster deftly guides the reader through these entanglements to an unexpected conclusion. A pleasure to read! - Betty R. Wall, author of No Way Out and All That This House Has To Offer
