TraceâÈçs solitary life is upended when she and her literature professor fall in love. As it becomes apparent that he has his own dark secrets, sheâÈçs forced to face herself and her past. After recovering a horrific, long-suppressed memory, Trace finally copes with the fallout from her brutal childhood.
