I got an advanced copy of this story to read. To me, there was a lot of movement in the book between present day, and flashbacks to teenage years (and even sometimes flashbacks within flashbacks). It was distracting to me until I got used to it. This story has a good mystery to it and some twists and turns that I didn't expect.
Glass Ferry, Kentucky is home to twins Flannery and Patsy and their family’s whiskey business. Because Patsy is older (only by seconds) she gets the best of everything, including the heirloom family pearls, setting up a fierce jealousy between the girls. When the night of the prom arrives, Patsy goes with her date, the son of the local sheriff, while Flannery takes over Patty’s job for the evening. But then Patsy and her beau never come home. Their disappearance is a mystery, rumors and speculation run rife. Every year the girls’ mother bakes a special cake for Patsy on her birthday, praying that her beloved child comes safely home. What really happened that night and what part did a bitter sibling rivalry play in the disappearance of two young people. This is a starkly beautiful story of prejudice, secrets, and lies. I want to read more from Richardson
