"Riley MacPherson is returning to her childhood home in North Carolina; a place that holds cherished memories. While clearing out the house she finds a box of old newspaper articles... and a shocking family secret begins to unravel.
Riley has spent her whole life believing that her older sister Lisa died tragically as a teenager. But now she's starting to uncover the truth. Her life has been built on a foundation of lies, told by everyone she loved."

Journal Entry 8 by wingrodespringbalwing at Roosdaal, Vlaams-Brabant / Brabant Flamant Belgium on Thursday, February 22, 2018
After the death of her father, Riley MacPherson returns to her childhood home. While clearing out her father’s possessions she finds out more than she bargained for about her father and also the sister who she barely remembers. Lisa was 17 when newspapers reported her death and Riley 2 so it is hardly surprising Riley doesn’t remember her, especially when there seems to be so much mystery surrounding Lisa’s apparent suicide. But could there be more to the story? There certainly is. Some families are good at covering up the truth and Riley’s family had certainly done that. Riley’s brother Danny is suffering from post traumatic stress that is not all to do with his tours in Iraq. He wants nothing to do with the family home or the past and certainly doesn’t want to talk about Lisa, who he blames for the problems in his family.
I liked the character of Riley but found Danny hard to get a handle on and I wasn’t completely convinced by the way it left the end with Danny. Some of the characters are very unlikable but are necessary to the story while others are lovable and just as necessary to the plot. Others seem to be one thing and then end up being different as you learn more about them.
Once I started I had to keep reading even though I had a fair idea I had figured out the family secrets. I was happy to be proved right.

This book was incredibly good. I started reading it and not 24 hrs later I was finished. I managed to figure out the secrets, too but it was so exciting to read everything anyway. It definitely makes me want to read more and more of that author.
Next stop: Fifna in the Netherlands
