Description

In this heartrending story about healing from past mistakes, two estranged friends face the twenty-year-old accident that forced them apart-and the consequences of the secret that still haunts them. Twenty years ago, an out-of-control prank ended in an accident that destroyed the high school gym and threatened the futures of star athletes Beth and Ally. They move on with their lives carrying their secret while someone else is blamed, but the years reveal that no one truly comes out unscathed. Now, both women are at a crossroads: Beth returns to her hometown after a concussion ends her professional soccer career, and a surprise pregnancy disrupts Ally's idyllic family. The only thing either of them are sure of is their desire to mend their estranged relationship. But the old friends aren't just battling new problems when their former classmate Jordan begins to investigate the crime for which his father was convicted. As their secret comes back around to threaten their futures once more, Beth and Ally will have to decide whether to run away from the truth again or face it once and for all.
