Another twisty psychological suspense from the author of The Leaving, where a teen searches for answers about her mother's dark history, telekinesis, and the power of will.
What if . . . a teenage girl could move objects with her mind?
What if . . . someone turns up at her door asking questions she doesn't want to answer?
Kaylee lives a normal life with her adoptive parents, and almost never thinks of her birth mother, Crystal, who is serving a life sentence in prison. But the woman at the front door is producing a podcast about Crystal that is about to blow Kaylee's forgotten past wide open.
What if strange things have been happening Kaylee's entire life, things she could not explain? What if she's more like her mother than she ever imagined?
What if the podcast is about to put her on a collision course with Crystal-and her darkest self?
This gripping psychological thriller from the author of The Leaving explores the strength of our minds, the power of will, and how our histories define us . . . or not.
