Drawn into dangerous friendships and terrible choices, Ursula becomes tied to a haunting event that will shadow her for decades. Thirty-six years later, now a famous but reclusive sculptor hiding under a false identity, Ursula is forced to confront the secrets she has buried when a true-crime filmmaker begins investigating a long-unsolved disappearance."--
