Tara Laskowski is author, most recently, of One Night Gone. After spending a Thanksgiving at the beach with her family, Laskowski couldn’t shake the feeling that within all this off-season beachy quietness was a sense that in the nothing happening, anything at all could happen. Her debut novel explores what happens when an outsider with her own unsettled past can chip away at the idyllic beach town façade and reveal the sinister secrets buried below. Part electric coming-of-age story and part breathtaking mystery, this is an atmospheric novel about power, privilege, and sisterhood.
