The power of family to harm―and to heal

Within the walls of a perfectly kept house in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Zane Bigelow feels like a prisoner of war. Strangers see his parents as a successful surgeon and his stylish wife, making appearances at their children’s ballet recitals and baseball games. Zane and his sister know the truth: There is something terribly wrong.

When one brutal night finally reveals cracks in the façade, Zane begins to understand that some people are willing to face the truth, even when it hurts. As he grows into manhood and builds a new kind of family, he will find that while his past may always shadow him, it will also show him what is necessary for good to triumph ―and give him strength when he defends himself and the ones he loves.
