But then she discovers that David carried a secret to his grave. A secret that changes everything she thought their marriage had been. For the sake of their sons, Susan must try to forgive the unforgivable. Andrea Morley lost her closest friend in the fire. But she has no right to grieve him in public. Instead, she must grieve in silence - because her dearest friend was someone else's husband. Peter Brennan carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. As Hanover Falls' fire chief, he was responsible for the brave firefighters who lost their lives that awful night. Can he ever shake the feeling that he should have somehow prevented the tragedy?" -- Cover verso.
