Tori knows something that Brian doesn't--a family secret revealed by Brian's Aunt Lily in Dublin, Ireland--only to her. A deception so coldly calculated and criminally complete, it has remained hidden for decades as a carefully arranged truth. Tori is determined to unearth the whole story. She takes the opportunity of a business trip to Los Angeles to drive up the coast to Santa Barbara, and there, to investigate the accident that tragically took the lives of two Sage family members in 1962. What Tori finds--yet another well-hidden deception--will rip through the fabric of the family once it becomes known. Yet, if she seeks to "poke the sleeping bear," the Sage family's patriarch, how can she see him punished for what he has done without hurting other family members? As Tori begins her quest to rearrange the truth, she worries that pulling the threads she has worked loose could unravel all of the long-buried secrets in the Sage family.
