What do you do when the truth destroys you and only revenge can set you free? She is used to saving others. Now she needs to save herself. Daniella Dean is happy dedicating her life to the at-risk teens in her Florida classroom. Lately, they've become a population she knows better than herself. But a student named Michael has her second-guessing what she's always known and done. He needs her help, and she and her family welcome him into their homes. When her mentally ill brother befriends Michael, Daniella believes only good could come from it. But she is horribly wrong. Suddenly, she stands accused of the most inconceivable crime. With no allies and no recourse, she spirals down a dangerous path, her future and her sanity in jeopardy. When mysterious notes appear that bring new revelations to the surface, it begs the question of whether blood is always thicker than water. There's no way she can protect Michael like she promised-or is there? The truth hasn't worked. What if revenge will? Can she unravel a tangled web of cruel lies, bitter deceit, and devastating betrayal to reclaim her life?
