What if you did something unforgivableâand had to live with it? This intimate, page-turning family drama for readers of Jodi Picoult explores the profound power of the truths weâre scared to face . . . about our marriages, our children, and ourselves.
Eve Lattimore is barely keeping things together. Her husband works fifteen hundred miles away, leaving Eve to juggle singlehandedly the demands of their teenaged daughter and fragile son. Tyler was born with XPâthe so-called vampire disease: even one moment of sun exposure can have fatal consequences. So Eve does what any mother might do: she turns their home into a fortress. Every day, she watches the sun rise and fall, and keeps a close eye on her child. Friendships fall away. Her marriage is on the rocks. Her daughterâs going through something but wonât talk about it. Still, Eve believes that itâs all a matter of time before a cure is found, and everything can resume its normal course.
Until the night she makes a terrible decision, and itâs not only the sun she has to hide from.
