First, there were my mother's bones . . .

A young woman returns home to the small, claustrophobic town of Knife River. When Jess was thirteen, her mother went for a walk and did not return—now, fifteen years later, bones have been discovered in the woods nearby.

Jess's sister has remained in their childhood home—her life, their home, and the town itself seemingly frozen in time. As days turn into weeks, Jess's understanding of the past, her sister, and herself becomes more and more complicated—and the list of suspects responsible for her mother's terrible fate more and more ominous . . .
