Author of The Happiness Thief
Forty-one-year-old Natalie Greene still believes she might have caused the car crash that killed her mother decades ago. But did she? Her memories are buried beneath a deep trauma, which still ripples through her life and recently ruined her marriage. While accompanying her famous stepsister, Isabel Walker (aka “The Happiness Guru”) to an annual wellness retreat in the Cayman Islands, a late-night collision triggers Natalie's PTSD. When she later receives an anonymous email hinting at foul play, Natalie decides to investigate. Looking into the island accident sparks a trip down a foggy, frightening memory lane—exposing dark secrets and chilling revelations.
