Toni Murphy and her boyfriend, Ryan, were convicted of murdering Toni's sister, Nicole while they were teenagers. They were sent to prison. Thirty-four years later, Toni is out on parole and back in her hometown. A condition of her parole is that she is not to have any contact with Ryan. But Ryan is convinced he can figure out the truth. Toni's mother doubts that Toni is innocent. No matter how hard Toni tries, ignoring her old life to start a new one is impossible. Before Toni can truly move on, she must risk everything to find out what really happened that night. Will Toni be able to figure out who really killed her sister? The book flashes back and forth from the present to the past just before Nicole was murdered. This is a fast-paced book with well-drawn characters. Some things were predictable but the ending was a complete surprise. I think this book would make a great movie. Chevy Stevens is a great storyteller and this one held my attention all the way to the end.
