*THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER*
The deliciously dark new suspense novel from the international bestselling author of Strange Sally Diamond**
If my sister hadn't been beautiful, none of it would have happened.
Ruby Cooper and her sister, Erin, live an idyllic life in their close-knit church community in Boston. But when Ruby is sixteen, she is involved in an incident that causes her family's world to implode.
Across decades, the fallout leaves a wake of destruction behind Ruby in Dublin and Erin in Boston.
Not that Ruby wants to think about the past.
But it can't stay a secret forever.
