By the end of summer 1973, tragedy finds five friends along a river bank. Twenty-four years later, Ruth returns to the suffocating, once grand house she grew up inches Joining the family is Stuart, Ruth's childhood friend, who is quietly insinuating himself into their lives and gives Ruth's seventeen-year-old daughter, Maeve, the attention she longs for. Alternating between the two fateful summers, this is a suspense-filled exploration of mothers and daughters, illicit desire, and the perils and power of being a young woman.
