![]() ![]() Sexual assault does not define this story, however, just as it does not define Grace. Once she starts looking for it, the truth about that night is hard to find - and what happens when her healing hurts the people she cares about the most? Marci Lyn Curtis, the critically acclaimed author of The One Thing, has crafted an honest and emotional story that will resonate with the wide range of readers impacted by sexual assault. People say the truth will set you free, but Grace isn't sure about that. Now the place just reminds her of all she's lost: her best friend, her boyfriend and any memory of the night that changed her forever. ![]() Grace once spent the best summers of her life in New Harbor. ![]() Or if moving in with Uncle Rusty didn't mean returning to New Harbor.

Meanwhile, her brother flounders through his freshman year, and her parents drift further apart. ![]() From then on, the chapters shift between present and past: a present where Ellie is away from home, recovering from a vaguely alluded-to tragedy, and the past, where Ellie has begun to spiral out of control toward the mistake that will unravel her and her family. “I’m fine,” her daughter says, although the reader always suspects this isn’t true. An English professor and overbearing mother, Maya tumbles fully-clothed into the ocean to rescue her young daughter, Ellie, from a wave in the foreshadowing first chapter.
