Synopsis
#1 New York Time s bestselling author Haven Kimmel makes an exhilarating foray into psychological gothic territory with the electrifying story of a young woman emerging from layers of delusion, fantasy, and lies. With her astounding intelligence, fierce independence, and otherworldly lavender eyes, college senior Trace Pennington makes an indelible impression even as questions about her past and her true identity hover over every page. From her earliest years, Trace turned away from her abusive mother toward her loving father. Within the twisty logic of abuse, her desperate love for him took on a romantic cast that persists to this day, though sheâÈçs had no contact with her family since she ran away from home years ago. SheâÈçs eked out an impoverished but functional existence, living in an abandoned house, putting herself through collegeâÈ'and leading a double life: at school she is Ianthe Covington, a young woman with no past. TraceâÈçs solitary life is upended when she and her literature professor fall in love. As it becomes apparent that he has his own dark secrets, sheâÈçs forced to face herself and her past. After recovering a horrific, long-suppressed memory, Trace finally copes with the fallout from her brutal childhood. This unique portrait of the psychological effects of trauma is tantalizing, shocking, and ultimately hopeful.
