The secrets of Lake Road

the long version

"A haunting story about the destructive power of secrets"-- Jo has been hiding the truth about her role in her high school boyfriend's drowning for sixteen years; everything about the lake reminds her of the guilt she feels. For her daughter Caroline, the lake's familiarity and sameness comforts her every year despite the changes in her life outside its bounds. When a young girl goes missing from the community beach, rescue workers dredge up the bones Jo hoped would never be discovered, shattering the quiet lakeside community's tranquility. And Caroline, one of the last people to see Sara alive on the beach, takes it upon herself to figure out what happened to the little girl.
