Some absences echo louder than any sound.
Twenty-five years ago, two sisters set out for school. One arrived. One vanished. The disappearance of her sister has shaped Willa’s entire life, an invisible thread tugging her through every relationship and every fleeting glimpse of someone who looks just close enough to be her.
Now, an invitation to a dinner party hosted by her first love stirs up memories she has fought to bury. What begins as an ordinary evening soon unravels into a reckoning with guilt, longing, and the past that never stopped haunting her.
Things Don’t Break on Their Own by Sarah Easter Collins is a haunting, emotionally charged mystery about love, memory, and the fragile bonds that hold us together.
