by Liz Hoban

Book Overview

If this story were told in reverse, three people would still be alive. Fifteen year old Lindy Mason is reported missing during a Vermont blizzard. After a brief investigation, authorities deem her a runaway. After all, her father is an abusive alcoholic. Lulled by the comforts of rural anonymity, Jillian Duncan believes she's doing her best to singlehandedly raise two rambunctious teenage sons. One early spring morning, the family dog makes a bizarre discovery that will alter all of their lives. The night Lindy went missing, she was last seen in the Duncans' basement dubbed by the local teenagers as the Cheech Room. The smells of marijuana, vanilla, and puberty but reeks of a deadly secret that can't possibly be kept. As the truth reveals itself, Jillian is forced to confront a troubling secret from her late husband's past while trying to stay one step ahead of a relentless detective bent on proving her sons played a role in Lindy's disappearance, forcing Jillian to discover how far she will go to honor her late husband and protect her the only people she has ever loved.
