Product Description
A must-read for fans of character-driven suspense like Liz Moore's Long Bright River and A. J. Finn's The Woman in the Window, One Beautiful Year of Normal is a gripping psychological thriller about a woman's dangerous decision to unearth her family's darkest secrets.Some memories protect you. Others imprison you.
When August Caine receives a phone call from a Savannah attorney, she is blindsided by the news--her Aunt Helen has passed away. But how can that be, when August's mother insisted Helen died in a car accident fifteen years ago? Determined to uncover the truth, August returns to the deep South, where the ghosts of her past--both real and imagined--await her.
Plagued by a memory splintered by her father's unsolved murder when she was a child and further tangled by psychiatric treatments for the debilitating depression she struggles with, August realizes her survival depends on unraveling the mystery surrounding her father's death. This means returning to the one safe place she remembers from the childhood she has mostly locked away inside her mind: Aunt Helen's home, and the ghost tours they created together.
A chilling exploration of mental illness, mother-daughter bonds, and generational secrets, One Beautiful Year of Normal follows August as she pieces together the long-buried truths that shaped her family's tragic past and confronts the question that has haunted her for years: Can the truth set her free, or will it unravel everything she thought she knew?
