There are some places you must return to.

In the bestselling tradition of Barbara Delinsky, Jean Stone weaves an enthralling, emotionally charged novel of friendship and betrayal, forgiveness and love.

Jill McPhearson leads a charmed life--with a hugely successful TV show, two beautiful children, and a fiancé who just happens to be her sexy prime-time co-host. Just when all Jill's dreams seem to be coming true, her past beckons her back to her childhood home on Martha's Vineyard and to a life she wants only to forget. But returning to the island will also give this savvy reporter her biggest break--the chance to go after the story of a lifetime: her own. For a dark family secret is about to be revealed, one that could help Jill face painful memories or destroy everything she's hoped to become.
