Zora was only sixteen when she lost everyone. The commune she called home and the people she called family gone in the blink of an eye. She’s spent twenty years trying to block it out, to reinvent herself and forget the other five survivors.

But then the letters start arriving.

Someone remembers and they won’t let her forget what’s coming. After all this time, her previous life is catching up to her. Drawn back to the commune, Zora must face her past and the other survivors – the only people who truly understand what she’s been through.

But will the ghosts of their shared past threaten her future?
