      Lillian Lindenová je klamárka. Navonok pôsobí ako hrdinka, odvážna žena, ktorá prežila pád lietadla. Lenže odkedy ju spolu s ďalšími zachránili z opusteného ostrova, klame svojej rodine, priateľom aj celému svetu. Spolu s Daveom Hallom, ktorý bol tiež zachránený, sú celoštátnou senzáciou - obľúbencami médií, ktoré neľútostne pátrajú po všetkých detailoch dvojročného pekla, ktoré prežili napriek tomu, že boli odsúdení na milosť a nemilosť prírody. Povedať pravdu však nemôžu, a tak klamú. Verejnosť túto novú senzáciu miluje a je fascinovaná celou stroskotaneckou ságou, no Lillian a David sa musia vrátiť k svojim životom a rodinám. Dotieravá novinárka Genevieve Randallová má však podozrenie, že s ich príbehom nie je úplne všetko v poriadku. Neverí, že ich pobyt na opustenom ostrove s ostatnými stroskotanými bol taký, aký ho prezentujú verejnosti. Je odhodlaná zistiť pravdu a nemieni brať ohľad na životy, ktoré odhalením tajomstva môže zničiť. V tomto napínavom príbehu o prežití, tajomstvách a vykúpení musia dvaja obyčajní ľudia spojení tragédiou čeliť pravde... aj za cenu, že ich to navždy rozdelí.

      An enthralling novel of secrets, second chances, and confronting the past by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of When I'm Gone. After a series of devastating losses, Chicago journalist Hannah Williamson has landed in Senatobia, Mississippi, to care for her bedridden grandmother and endure grunt work at a small newspaper. But in cleaning out its archives, Hannah discovers a compelling distraction from her life: a series of rejected articles from the 1930s that illuminate a long-hidden mystery. The articles, penned by a young woman named Evelyn, are haunting accounts of first love, trauma, and surviving a mysterious shooting that left Evelyn paralyzed at the age of fourteen. The articles stir up more questions than answers, and Hannah becomes consumed by what's left unsaid. Encouraged by Guy Franklin, a local middle school teacher, Hannah's investigation into Evelyn's past becomes more personal with each new reveal. For Hannah, as both a journalist and a woman bearing her own emotional wounds, this is a chance to move forward and bring closure to the story of the girl whose secrets are buried in Senatobia. What Hannah's about to discover next is that, even after nearly a century, the truth she's been looking for still has the power to change lives. Especially her own.
