A woman in search of a new beginning is put to the test in ways she never imagined in an empowering and provocative page-turner by the author of NOT THAT I COULD TELL.

Katie’s divorce was, in a word, humiliating. So when her friend, Bess, offers a fresh start --- a resident caretaking job at a nature preserve --- Katie accepts. No matter that she’s not exactly a “nature person.” How hard can it be?

But from day one, something feels off. Katie’s new farmhouse looks as if the last caretaker barely moved out at all. When a frantic, terrified woman arrives late at night, expecting a safe place to hide, it’s clear caretaking involves way more than Katie bargained for.

Suddenly, Katie is no longer sure who she can trust: the brooding groundskeeper, the daily regulars --- hikers, dog walkers, bird-watchers, photographers --- even Bess.

As Katie digs deeper for clues in what the last caretaker left behind, she must discover courage she never knew she had --- and decide how much she’ll risk to do the right thing.
