✦ Synopsis

They’d left their daughter with us, their only child, and we hadn’t protected her. That was all they would see when they looked at us—that we had failed them. It was supposed to be the perfect summer vacation. All of us together at the beach house, with my daughter Katie’s best friend Isa along to share in the fun. All the troubles of the past school year would be forgotten and the girls would make memories full of sunshine and salt-water to last them a lifetime. But that’s not how it went at all. And now poor, beautiful Isa is dead. I will never forgive myself for what has happened, never stop thinking about the things I missed. For not having been more careful, more watchful, in those last few weeks. I can’t imagine how I would feel if it was my daughter being placed inside that coffin, trapped forever as her seventeen-year-old self. Never to celebrate landing her first job, getting engaged, or having a daughter of her own someday. I can’t help but think it is all my fault. That I could have stopped this terrible thing from happening. But as much guilt as I feel, I know one thing for sure. I will do whatever it takes to keep my own daughter safe..
