## About this book

Eighteen-year-old Bel has grown up in the shadow of her mother's disappearance: sixteen years ago Rachel Price vanished, with toddler Bel the only witness, and was long presumed dead. When the family agrees to a true-crime documentary about the case, Rachel suddenly reappears alive — and Bel is forced to untangle what really happened. A twisty thriller from the author of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, and a 2025-2026 Colorado Blue Spruce Young Adult Book Award nominee (grades 7-12).
