"Compelling, relevant, and compassionate view at the torture of the slipperiness of truth and inconsistent loyalties."
Jessica Brown, New York Times bestselling author of "Those Who Save Us and The Lost Family".
About the Book
In this evocative debut novel, Rebecca Johansen weaves a riveting story of past and present.
Helen Bryant is twenty-five years old. She feels that her life is on the rise now. She has a great job in New York City and falls in love with a fascinating artist. Her traumatic memories of the past finally begin to disappear. Helen's life broke up almost ten years ago, during an idyllic summer in her family’s house on Eagle Lake, when her very old friend blamed her father for rape. During the detention pending trial, Helen insisted on her father's innocence. She tried to avoid meeting the reporters and clinging to the memories about the most adorable man.
Now her father is getting out. However, when Helen returns to a closed lakeside house, the details of that fatal night come up: the freeze of the lake, the first love's heat, the frightening bite of jealousy. And as old memories face new realities, they doubt everything she thinks she knows about her family, friends, and, finally, about herself. Now Helen's choice will be tested with life-changing after-effects.

What Readers Are Saying
“Very impressive family drama! Helen devotedly supports her father when he is blamed for rape, and afterward goes to prison. She begins to question all six years later when he is going to get out. She starts to realize that, in her opinion, it might not have happened at that time. This emotional story is really worth reading!”

"This is a rather good story with its potential. But I think It should be a bit shortened. This family drama is relevant today. I would highly recommend it to those who are 15+ years of age."

Jeff Gordon
“Quite thrilling story focused on the truth and faithfulness, realness and perception. It covers such important things nowadays as harmony, honor, and modesty, as well as the nature of shame that needs to be told (again and again). Bravo to Rebecca Johansen for telling this story and for telling it so well!"
