Before we were strangers

Brenda Novak
Book - 2018

Five-year-old Sloane McBride couldn<U+2019>t sleep that night. Her parents were arguing again, their harsh words heating the cool autumn air. And then there was that other sound<U+2014>the ominous thump before all went quiet. In the morning, her mother was gone. The official story was that she left. Her loving, devoted mother! That hadn<U+2019>t sat any better at the time than it did when Sloane moved out at eighteen, anxious to leave her small Texas hometown in search of anywhere else. But not even a fresh start working as a model in New York could keep the nightmares at bay. Or her fears that the domineering father she grew up with wasn<U+2019>t just difficult<U+2014>he was deadly. Now another traumatic loss forces Sloane to realize she owes it to her mother to find out the truth, even if it means returning to a small town full of secrets and lies, a jilted ex-boyfriend and a father and brother who<U+2019>d rather see her silenced. But as Sloane starts digging into the past, the question isn<U+2019>t whether she can uncover what really happened that night<U+2026>it<U+2019>s what will remain of her family if she does?
