She escaped. She survived. But for how long? A gripping novel of
suspense, passion and transformation from international number
one bestseller Nora Roberts - the world's greatest storyteller.
When the shots rang out in the shopping mall, Simone Knox knew
what to do. Shelter in place. That's what they taught you to do
in the event of a mass shooting. So on that terrible, hot summer
day in 2005, Simone was lucky. She escaped death. But she would
never be the same again.
More than ten years later, Simone still struggles with grief,
trauma and the misplaced guilt of a survivor. She spends much of
her time alone on Tranquility Island - a quiet, artistic
community off the coast of Maine. But she is transforming -
shaping herself the way she shapes her extraordinary and highly
prized sculptures.
