It's said that time heals all wounds. But Emily knows that in a small town like Lincoln, California, time only makes them fester...

Emily Sutton has been running for six years. Running from a small town that labeled her a villain. Running from a family that is no longer whole. And, most of all, running from the whispers of her son's horrible accident. But when her ex-husband threatens to sell their house in Lincoln, CA, Emily knows she can't run anymore.

With her teenage daughter in tow, Emily returns to Lincoln and confronts the disdain of the community that she once loved. She knows that a small town like Lincoln never forgets, and one simple lie has a way of taking on a life of its own.

When someone tries to run Emily out of town, she begins to suspect it may be the same person who knows the truth about what happened to her family that fateful day six years ago. But this time, Emily Sutton won't run. Not until she gets justice for her son. Not until Lincoln learns what Emily knows. What she's always known.

What happened on Moore Road six years ago wasn't an accident.

From the Bookfest Award-Winning author of, Bronswood, comes the twisted conclusion to the How It Had To Be trilogy.
