Summary
Summary
Popular podcaster and ex-reporter Faith Byrne has made a name for herself telling stories of greatness after tragedy--but her real life does not mirror the stories she tells. While her daughters spend the summer in Hawaii with her ex-husband and his new wife, she must manage life on her own. But all that changes when she's asked to spotlight her childhood best friend's missing person case on her podcast.
Dora Crane has never accepted that her younger daughter could be dead, keeping her home looking the same as when her daughter disappeared. But when her husband leaves her, and her older daughter intervenes, she agrees to counseling and to pack up her missing daughter's belongings under one condition: Faith Byrne comes to Deep Valley and sheds light on the cold case.
As the investigation moves forward, the two women uncover desperate secrets, and Faith and Dora must face the long-hidden truth before they can begin to move forward.
Award-winning author Christina Suzann Nelson masterfully leads readers on a journey of discovery, healing, and friendship in this suspenseful and poignant tale.

Booklist Review
Faith Byrne is trying to pick up the pieces of her life after her divorce. The former investigative reporter has shifted gears and started a new career as a podcaster, telling uplifting stories about "What happens next" after people recover from a tragedy. Shortly after her ex-husband insists on taking their teenage girls to Hawaii for the summer, Faith receives a letter that will change her life. When she was 10, she spent the summer at her grandmother's house and made a new best friend. After returning home, all her letters to Heather went unanswered, but she had no idea that Heather had disappeared. Heather's family was never the same after that and with the thirty-sixth anniversary of her disappearance coming up, they ask Faith to do a podcast featuring the cold case. Nelson's latest, following Shaped by the Waves (2022), is ultimately an uplifting story of faith, hope, and healing that provides Faith and Heather's family the answers they so desperately need to forge a new path forward. Recommend to fans of Cathy Gohlke and Charles Martin.
