A shattered heirloom. A family secret. A past that refuses to stay buried.
When ten-year-old Ebby Freeman heard the gunshot, time stopped. Her brother, Baz, lay lifeless on the floor—next to the remains of a centuries-old jar that had been in their family for generations. The crime was never solved. And as one of the only Black families in their wealthy New England enclave, the Freemans became an object of public speculation.
Eighteen years later, fleeing from a media storm surrounding her high-profile breakup, Ebby escapes to France. But as she searches for peace, she finds herself drawn back to the jar and the history it carried. Because that handcrafted piece of pottery didn’t just hold the past.
It may hold the answers she’s been searching for all along.
