About this audiobook
On the night their mother drowns, sisters Marnie and Diana Maitland discover there is more than one kind of death. There is the death of innocence, of love, and of hope. Each sister harbors a secret about that night-secrets that will erode their lives as they grow into adulthood. After ten years of silence between the sisters, Marnie is called back to the South Carolina Lowcountry by Diana's ex-husband, Quinn. His young son has returned from a sailing trip with his emotionally unstable mother, and he is refusing to speak. In order to help the traumatized boy, Marnie must reopen old wounds and bring the darkest memories of their past to the surface. And she must confront Diana, before they all go under.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I figured it out early on, but still enjoyed the book
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I enjoy the story line, the characters, and the narrator.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It took a bit to "get into" this one, but glad stuck with it. Overall, I did enjoy the story and how the characters were woven together.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The writing was good, but the story was flat. The mystery was no mystery, the characters played out their roles without ever transcending into reality and the ending was just what I expected to wrap everything in a tidy package. Disappointing.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The story was pretty good but it did drag in places and the ending caught me a bit offgaurd and was slightly unbelievable.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not as good as some of her others but good. On the night their mother drowns, sisters Marnie and Diana Maitland discover there is more than one kind of death. There is the death of innocence, of love, and of hope. Each sister harbors a secret about that night-secrets that will erode their lives as they grow into adulthood.

And she must confront Diana, before they all go under. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I thoroughly enjoyed this book. So true how perception can differ so from reality. I also thought the struggle with mental illness of the one sisters really gave you a sense of the internal torment she went through.
