'A 2013 Readers' Favorite Award Winner'
On a warm fall morning in Gardiner, Washington, Richard and Maggie celebrate happy couple Sam and Marcie's return. What happens next changes their lives forever. A hit and run driver on a deserted country road, and Richard and Maggie suffer a parents worst nightmare.
Now a year later Maggie McCafferty struggles to put her life back together...hiding her pain with outrageous behavior and her own secret she's unwilling to share. Until her friends step in and her strong willed soon to be ex-husband sets out to bring Maggie home— the only way he knows. Just as Maggie begins to trust again, Dan McKenzie calls after disappearing for over a year. But now he's back. And instead of Richard coming clean with the truth of their involvement, Richard digs himself in deeper, with mounting debts, a partner who refuses to buy him out—secrets shared only with Dan. Until one night a mysterious 911 caller witnesses a fight and Richard shooting Dan. But when the police arrive at the deserted construction site the only evidence of a crime is a pool of blood, and a surveillance video.
Under mounting pressure from the police Richard's arrested and interrogated—except fiery secretive Richard is adamant he was home all night. In this bizarre twist of fate, Sam, Marcie and Diane work against the clock and wonder how well they really know their evasive friend. With Maggie by his side, Richard stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Richard didn't do it, where is Dan? And who is the mysterious 911 caller?

Words no parent should ever hear, “Your daughter didn’t make it,” played over and over in Maggie’s head as a cold drizzle deepened the sorrow in her bones. Gray sky battled for space between the puffy clouds.
Black. Everyone conformed. All were shrouded in this drab dress code, which, of course, only emphasized the emptiness infiltrating every pore of the day. For the moment, Maggie had no tears left; but nothing could wipe away the searing pain churning inside her, knotting her stomach one moment, twisting the muscles in her neck and back—then turning them into blocks of ice the next.
Maggie sighed and tilted her head. The white and gold etched coffin her daughter lay in really was beautiful. Pink roses cascaded over the sides like a shrine. A moment of clarity swooped in and intensified the agony. Lily would have loved pink.
Five. She was only five years old, a baby still. That number was engraved into Maggie’s every waking thought. The unseen cruelty of God. The hand of fate. How Maggie hated God at that moment. What did I do to you? She’d screamed those words over and over with her fist raised in damning condemnation. She hated everyone. Even the damn minister, who went on and on, preaching his sanctimonious bullshit; but no more than she loathed herself.
