1944: Christaphine is twenty years old, newly married, and determined to make a home and a life for herself and her husband, Tommy. But when Christaphine discovers Tommy and his friends on the verge of committing a horrible crime, she does what she has to do to stop them. Afterward, she knows she can't ever go home again--so she disappears. 50 years later: When Clemmie's neighbor Muffin drags her from Sunday morning service at Trinity Hill church, convinced the man she's just spotted across the aisle is a dangerous figure from her past, at first Clemmie thinks she's being dramatic. But as Muffin reveals to Clemmie what happened in the middle of a field in South Carolina five decades ago, Clemmie realizes her friend has been keeping dark secrets--just as Clemmie herself has. And the secrets that belong to both women are not the kind that can be revealed without dire consequences. --Back cover.
