For the first time in years, Lina Pritchett's life feels normal. She teaches at the local elementary school; her husband, Tony, works in the opal mines; and her ten-year-old son, Red, watches too much TV. The biggest challenge she faces is keeping her very recent pregnancy under wraps in her tiny Australian town, where rumors fly if you don't have a pint in your hand at the pub.
But then, at a local wedding, Lina is approached by a curious young British woman. Thirty years old, Sophie has been mourning her best friend's suicide for a decade... her best friend, Daisy, who looked a whole lot like Lina Pritchett. Ten years earlier Daisy Fraser had been accused of a terrible crime. But just days before the trial, hopeless in the face of a tabloid maelstrom that had already branded her a killer, Daisy threw herself off a bridge.
Lina Pritchett attends a local wedding in the Australian outback and is approached by a woman who insists that Lina looks exactly like her old best friend, who committed suiced 10 years ago. Lots of twists in this story.
