Maggie Lockwood was young and madly in love with a firefighter named Ben. She did a stupid thing which led to the deaths of 3 people and painful burn injuries to Keith - a boy she had practically grown up with. After spending a year in prison she is now coming home. This is the story of her attempt to return to her widowed mother and mentally-challenged brother, Andy. Her family is welcoming - the town? well, not so much.
It is also the story of Keith and his anger toward life and especially toward Maggie. On the day that Maggie arrives home from prison, Keith's mom Sara goes to the store and doesn't return. You can see there is a lot going on in this small town! On top of all of that there are a lot of buried secrets between Keith's mom and Maggie's mom. It was an enjoyable read that kept me wanting to know what all of those secrets were.
