About the Book

"When Tegan's family is torn apart by a terrible tragedy, she runs away in search of somewhere to keep safe from the past that haunts her, and the painful secrets she's never told anyone. Arriving in Copper Canyon, Colorado, where wooden storefronts line the quiet streets and no-one knows her name, Tegan breathes easy for the first time in years. And when she grows close with Jack, another lost soul who won't talk about his home, it seems she's found the perfect companion to explore the mountain landscapes with. But just as Tegan starts to think maybe safety isn't a place, it's a person, she notices the box of photos and newspaper clippings that Jack takes everywhere in the trunk of his car. Who is the woman in every frame? And why does she look so familiar? Tegan knows the only way to protect herself, and keep her dark family history locked away, is to discover more about the woman in Jack's photos. But when she does, will the truth help her build a new life, or will it send her running once more?"--Back cover.
