"Maybe it's like any story you think you know. You like to go back to the beginning and see if it really happened the way you remember. Back before the death, disaster, betrayal, lies, the lawyers, the perjury, your little brother accusing you of murder-" Lizzie Aimes has been raised to be honest. Pure. Obedient. But right now she seems to be the only person playing by those rules. When her family life disintegrates around her, Lizzie must draw on her deepest resources to protect herself and the one she loves. Even if it means destroying someone else in the process. [FOR MATURE READERS. Some language and situations not suitable for younger readers.]
