A woman must keep her familyand her terrifying secretssafe in a twisting thriller by Washington Post and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Minka Kent.

Camille Prescott has it all. A doting husband, two children, a charming home in a seaside enclave, and a beautiful, fixed smile that exudes normalcy. But behind her polished mask lurks a much different Camilleone with a padlocked vault of secrets. Raised by a vindictive and psychotic woman, Camille has gone to great lengths to bury her past and for good reason: if her mother ever finds her, she will kill her.

But nothing can prepare Camille for the day her six-year-old daughter, Georgie, starts showing signs of unsettlingly familiar behavior, including an imaginary new friend who casts a disturbing influence on everything the little girl says and does. Worse than that, Georgies imaginary friend knows things about Camilles childhood, things Camille has never told a soul. Is it a coincidence or is Georgies imaginary friend not so fictional after all?

As the familys stability cracks, so does Camilles facade, because the past isnt just coming for her and everyone she lovesits already here.
