Meg Storm is a heroine you can really root for. Once you pick up this riveting thriller, you won't want to put it down.” -- Kevin O'Brien, New York Times Bestselling Author “The author writes with a shrewd, confident style; the characters' experiences are often perceptible to readers. For example, Meg endures an emotional reaction as physical anguish: “This new pain was like a shot to the chest, radiating down and dark, through the soles of her feet.” Violence is stark but fleeting, as the profound tale is more about loss than revenge. A bleak but undeniably affecting family tale.” -- Kirkus Reviews, August 2, 2018 “Susan Wingate is guilty. She caused me to lose a full night's sleep.

Her writing is impeccable and the world she creates, while at times as tragic as a car wreck, is both haunting and impossible to ignore." -- New York Times and USA Today Thriller Award winning author, Vincent Zandri “When the book starts out with the death of her daughter, you'd think things couldn't get much worse for Meg -- but they do.

Susan's deftly controlled writing style has the reader feeling everything the character goes through -- which is exhausting and wonderful.” -- Terry Persun, Award Winning & Amazon Bestselling Novelist "Meg Storm is intimate with grief, and with guilt.
