THE STORY:
Contradictory evidence, blurred truth and fragmented memories collide in a cottage on the windswept shores of Cape Cod.
Just as Juliana Smithton's research leads to a potential breakthrough, her life takes a disorienting turn. During a lecture to colleagues at an exclusive beach resort, she glimpses an enigmatic young woman in a yellow bikini amidst the crowd of business suits. One step at a time, a mystery unravels as contradictory evidence, blurred truth and fragmented memories collide in a cottage on the windswept shores of Cape Cod.
"Sudden flares of uncontrolled feeling appear like lightning flashes from a sky that was clear just moments before. Gradually our faith in this seemingly most reliable of narrators is undermined by deftly disclosed pieces of information." - NY Times
