Sixteen year old Sally is involved in a car accident in which she is the only survivor. This accident sets into motion a chain of events and secrets that eventually haunt her own daughter, Odella.Odella is left to wonder about many things - why doesn't her Great Aunt Gloria visit her family any longer? Why has her mother, Sally, abandoned her and her sisters and her father and moved far away? Only after her mother's death and meeting the grandson of her Aunt Gloria's long-ago boyfriend do the secrets begin to unravel. I was able to guess a few of the secrets, but there were some surprise twists in the story.
The story is told through three generations of women and how these secrets overshadowed their lives. Many families have secrets, and in some cases, it seems that the keeping of these secrets is more harmful than the truth.
