When I open my eyes, I see my sister's pillows are still plump on the bed next to mine, her striped blanket still straight. With cold trickling down my spine, I jump up and open the closet. Her clothes are gone... Eleven years ago, my sister Lola vanished from my aunt's cottage. Now I'm back for the first time, still trying to understand why she ran away. As I go through the house, my mind fills with memories. I should have taken better care of her. If I had, she might have trusted me. What did I miss that summer? What secrets was she keeping? I pore over the photos I took, searching for answers. Lola was so angry, so secretive-laughing with her new friends on the beach, but refusing to meet my eyes. Then a body is discovered hidden in a cave below the cliffs where I walked that summer. No one knows how long it's been there, and I am forced to ask: did Lola run away at all? The police won't tell me anything. Then I come home to find my front door open, my bed made, my camera missing. Who is watching me? I won't stop until I know what happened, but am I ready to face the truth about my family? And if I learn what happened to Lola, will I be in danger too?
