'Dolly, it's your mother.''Dolly. Jackie Ruth Wynter had called Alice that for years. The conversation that followed led her right back to the place she had run from for years. Her twin brother, younger by just a minute or so, had been fading, transforming into an image of their drunken, narrow-eyed father. Now her father was dead, and her brother, Chris, missing.
Alice resigns herself to return, helping her mother and the local police with the mystery surrounding the crime. But there are some family secrets her mother would sooner take to the grave than reveal.
Reacquainting with her past brings fresh pain and new friendships as she struggles with who to trust with the details of her father's murder and brother's disappearance. As the authorities come closer to solving the mystery of the men in her family, she begins to realize her past life as Alice Wynter is the missing part of the puzzle. But who is searching out the former Alice? The sinister mysteries of the Wynter family will capture the reader's attention well past when the fire has gone out.

The Life Of Pii believe he weathered all kinds of weather!
I loved the back and forth and the little tidbits that were added to the story each time the story explored the past and what Chris did during his and Dollys senior year of high schoolWhat was so-so for me was the character development. I think that part is great and as I mentioned I love the way the author builds on the story.
