A sexual assault survivor seeks to find her truth, face her truth and speak her truth.
Grace once spent the best summers of her life in New Harbor. Now that she’s returned, though, the place just reminds her of all she’s lost: her father, her best friend, her boyfriend and any memory of the night that changed her forever.
People say the truth will set you free, but Grace isn’t sure about that. Once she starts looking for it, the truth about that night is hard to find — and what happens when her healing hurts the people she cares about the most?
