One Tiny Cry

The night they told me my baby didn’t survive, I heard it. One tiny cry.

I ran and never came back. Not for sixteen years. Not until a stranger found me and handed me a note that chilled me to my core:
It’s happening again. Come home before she dies too.

Now I’m back in the hometown I swore I’d escape forever. My mother is dying. My best friend Caitlin vanished years ago. And someone is watching me — leaving dolls that look like me, knowing my secrets, dragging me back to the night that ruined everything . . .
