From the New York Times best-selling author of Love Walked In and Belong to Me comes a profound and heart-rending story about a horrific tragedy that marks one woman and her hometown and about the explosive secrets that come to light 20 years later.
Ginny Beale is 18, irreverent, funny, and brave, with a brother she adores and a circle of friends for whom she would do anything. Because of one terrible night, she loses them all - and her adventurous spirit - seemingly forever. While the town cheers on the high school football team, someone sets the school’s auditorium ablaze. Ginny’s best friend Gray Marsden's father, a firefighter, dies in the blaze.
While many in the town believe Daniel York, a notoriously troubled local teen, set the fire, Ginny makes a shattering discovery that casts blame on the person she trusts most in the world. Ginny tells no one, but the secret isolates her, looming between her and her friends and ruining their friendship.
Over the next two decades, Ginny puts aside her wanderlust and her dreams. Moving back to her hometown, she distances herself from the past and from nearly everyone in it. She marries a quiet man, raises their daughter, Avery, and cares for her tyrannical, ailing mother, Adela. But when Ginny’s husband, Harris, becomes embroiled in a scandal, Ginny's carefully controlled life crumbles, and, just when she believes she is regaining her bearings, the secret she's kept for 20 years emerges and threatens to destroy her hopes for the future. With the help of 15-year-old Avery and of friends both old and new, Ginny must summon the courage to confront old lies and hard truths and to free herself and the people she loves from the mistakes and regrets that have burdened them for so long.

Most of the characters are unlikable, have done awful things or hidden the awful things done by their loved ones including sexual harassment, arson and involuntary manslaughter. Forgiveness comes way too easy for most of the characters. For example, Avery thinks she has a right to every detail about her mother’s past and her parents’ marital woes.
I don’t want to dump. Forgiveness and moving on are powerful processes. They’re just much more difficult than I’D GIVE ANYTHING suggests.
Unrealistic
