About this audiobook
A gripping psychological thriller about a long-missing woman who returns home after two decades—only to uncover chilling family secrets and realize she may never have been wanted back, perfect for fans of Freida McFadden and Noelle Ihli.
Twenty years ago, seven-year-old Charmaine Tillman vanished without a trace from a crowded school fair. Her disappearance shattered her family, destroyed her father, and turned her mother into a relentless force in the public eye. Her older sister Taylor transformed the tragedy into a media empire built on the desperate hope that one day, Charmaine would come home.
Now, against all odds, Charmaine has returned.
Found miles away with only fragmented memories of the past, she steps back into the world she left behind, a world that moved on without her. But as she settles into the glittering life her family has built in her absence, something feels wrong. The whispers. The forced smiles. The way her mother watches her with unreadable eyes.
The past is buried, but Charmaine can sense it clawing its way to the surface. And the deeper she digs, the more she realizes that some secrets were meant to stay lost.
Because the worst part about coming home is discovering you were never meant to.
