A towel with a faded camp logo is the only clue that 14-year-old Sadie Winters has to the identity of her birth mother. So she travels to the camp in the Adirondacks, determined to find the woman who gave her up for adoption.

Having given up her daughter at birth, Tess Hendrick has nonetheless kept tabs on the young girl. Tipped off that she has run away, most likely to the camp in Pine Lake, Tess returns to the town she swore never to set foot in again, ready to come face-to-face with the girl she has only seen in social media pictures.

All Tess wants is to protect her daughter from the harsh truth about her conception. But when a police officer reveals that advances in DNA testing have allowed him to identify the rapist, Tess is presented with the man's name and his address. And a life-altering dilemma.

While studying for her Ph.D. in chemistry, Lisa Verge Higgins wrote and sold her first novel. Now an author of fifteen books, this opera-loving mother of three has been twice named to Barnes & Noble's General Fiction Forum for their top twenty novels of the year. Her stories about women's lives and women's friendships have been described by reviewers as "joyous, uplifting life lessons" that "inspire us to focus on what's really important in our lives." When not writing stories, Lisa works as a reviewer for The New York Journal of Books. She currently lives in New Jersey with her husband and their three teenage daughters, who never fail to make life interesting.
