Can Henrietta find out what happened to Annie's sister--before it's too late?

Haunted by the past, Henrietta throws herself into a new job transcribing other people's life stories, vowing to stick to the facts and keep emotions at arm's length. But when she meets the eccentric and terminally ill Annie, she finds herself inextricably drawn in. And when Annie reveals that her sister drowned in unexplained circumstances in 1974, Henrietta's methodical mind can't help following the story's loose ends...

Unlike Henrietta, Annie is brimming with confidence--but even she has limits when it comes to opening up. Ever since that terrible night when her sister left a pile of clothes beside the canal and vanished, Annie has been afraid to look too closely into the murky depths of her memories. When her attempts to glide over the past come up against Henrietta's determination to fill in the gaps, both women find themselves confronting truths they'd thought were buried forever--especially when Henrietta's digging unearths a surprising emotional connection between them.

Could unlocking Annie's story help Henrietta rewrite the most devastating passages in her own life? And, in return, can she offer Annie a final twist in the tale, before it's too late?
