It's been ten years since the night her world imploded. Over those years, Kat Rodriguez has learned how to stand up for others, how to keep her heart safely locked away, and how to put her painful past behind her. Now it's time for Kat's education to be tested. Enter Rob Murray, her childhood best friend, who always wondered what happened to her after she disappeared. Just being around him shakes the carefully laid foundations of Kat's new life. And then there's Hannah, a teenager who might be in trouble, if only she would trust Kat enough to ask for help. And of course Mel, Kat's high school nemesis, who may turn out to be something more like a friend.

This must be the Universe's way of testing her, and Kat is determined to pass with flying colors. If only the past would stay buried.

Award-winning author Lisa McLuckie returns to the small town of Hidden Springs in this heartwarming novel about coming to terms with the past and finding the courage to trust again.
