Twenty years ago off the Oregon coast, Myra Barkley's daughter disappeared from the rocky beach across from the family inn. Ever since, Myra has waited at the front desk for her child to come home. One rainy afternoon, the miracle happens—her missing daughter, now twenty-eight years old with a child of her own, walks in the door. Elizabeth Lark is on the run with her son. She's just killed her abusive husband and needs a place to hide. Against her better judgment, she heads to her hometown and stops at the Barkley Inn. When the innkeeper insists that Elizabeth is her long lost daughter, the opportunity for a new life and, more importantly, the safety of her child, is too much for Elizabeth to pass up. But she knows that she isn't the Barkleys' daughter, and the more deeply intertwined she becomes with the family, the harder it becomes to confess the truth. And as the news spreads that the Barkley girl has returned, Elizabeth suddenly comes into the limelight in a dangerous way, attracting the culprit behind that disappearance back to finish the job.

      At the start of Colasanti’s distinctive debut, Elizabeth Lark and her five-year-old son, Theo, show up at the inn owned by Herb and Myra Barkley in Rocky Shores, Ore. Twenty years earlier, the Barkleys’ then eight-year-old daughter, Charlotte, disappeared from the beach near the inn. When Elizabeth drops a necklace that resembles one Charlotte gave to Myra’s other daughter, Myra is convinced that her missing daughter has returned. Much to the skeptical Herb’s dismay, Myra welcomes Elizabeth with open arms. Elizabeth, who recently escaped from a cabin in the woods after accidentally killing her captor who’d held her for 20 years, decides she must pretend to be Charlotte so she and Theo can have a home and be safe. Someone else knows the truth, however, and begins to stalk Elizabeth and Theo. Alarming family secrets subsequently surface and put everyone in danger. The author’s evocative prose is a joy to read, and the plot contains some great twists. Psychological suspense fans will be rewarded. Agent: Lauren Spieller, Triada.
