A woman convicted. A juror haunted by doubt. A nurse hiding her own secret. Three lives converge in a gripping and compassionate novel of love, lies, and forgiveness from the author of What’s Yours Is Mine.

Hospice nurse Natalie Quinn’s dying patient has a secret she’s carried for thirty years. Maria was once a juror in a murder trial that sent a young working-class student to prison. After all this time, Maria still fears they condemned an innocent woman. And she wants Natalie’s help to uncover the truth about that Charleston summer shattered by tragedy.

It’s 1996 when Krystal Rhodes is swept away in a whirlwind romance by a wealthy and irresistible charmer. But when the young man’s ex enters the picture, the fairy tale begins to crack. On Labor Day weekend, when a body washes up on the beaches of Isle of Palms, an idyllic summer love story ends in murder.

As Natalie and Maria reexamine the past, a devastating story of secrets, lies, and sacrifice comes to light—one that can still unalterably change so many lives. Including Natalie’s. Because her own secret can’t stay hidden for long.
