Mainstream/Literary Fiction


Everyone in the oceanside town of Bayport, SC knows Sarah Thorn is insane. Except Sarah. Guided by her nanny, and with best friend Abby Mills at her side, Sarah is sheltered from the whispering gossip of small-town tongues and enjoys childhood innocence where fireflies race to her and sunsets call out her name. But time is no barrier to truth, and years later, when Abby is arrested for killing her father, Sarah’s stability is challenged again. The gossips start talking. Who murdered Branch Street’s notorious butcher? Who cut off the meat freezer’s latch? Struggling with sanity on the verge of collapse, Sarah’s mind holds the answers that could set Abby free… Long-buried memories… An unthinkable crime… Secrets only the devil should tell.
