There was a bit of controversy about this book among the members of a FB group I belong to. I loved Laura McNeill’s first book, Center of Gravity. When she’s not writing and doing homework, she enjoys running, yoga, and spending time at the beach. Laura holds a master’s degree in journalism from The Ohio State University and is completing a graduate program in interactive technology at the University of Alabama. In her former life, she was a television news anchor for CBS News affiliates in New York and Alabama. Laura McNeill is a writer, web geek, travel enthusiast, and coffee drinker. Her own sister has been hiding a dark secret-one that holds the key to Allie’s freedom. Refusing defeat, a stronger, smarter Allie launches a battle for the truth, digging deeply into the past even if it threatens her parole status, personal safety, and the already-fragile bond with family.Īs her commitment to finding the truth intensifies, what Allie ultimately uncovers is far worse than she imagined. Even her own daughter Caroline, now a teenager, bristles at Allie’s claims of innocence. Now, out on parole, Allie is determined to clear her name, rebuild her life, and reconnect with the daughter she barely knows.īut Allie’s return home shatters the quaint, coastal community of Brunswick, Georgia.

But when dark secrets refuse to stay buried, will her chance at a new life be shattered forever?Ĭonvicted of a crime she didn’t commit, Allie watched a decade of her life vanish – time that can never be recovered. All Allie Marshall wants is a fresh start.
