Twenty years after her mother was convicted of killing a man, Laura finds herself about to kill him all over again.
After her mother died in prison for a crime she swore she never committed, nine-year-old Laura was careful to stay logical and unemotional, leaving her old life a veiled memory. She succeeded for the next twenty years.
Then the past returned, starting with a child’s innocent imaginary friend—an imaginary friend who knew too much. Then there were the tulips…Laura remembered those. Finally, the moment Laura could no longer ignore: coming face to face with the man her mother killed.
