When her black sheep brother disappears, Amanda Janvier is happy to take in her sixteen year-old niece Tally. Practically an orphan, Tally is motherless and her father raises Tally in a haphazard manner -- often taking off on wild schemes. Amanda envisions that she, her husband Neil, and their two teenagers can offer the girl stability and a shot at a "normal" life. What she doesn't know is that their own storybook lives are about to fall apart.

Seventeen-year-old Chase Janvier hasn't seen his cousin in years, and other than a vague curiosity about her strange life, he doesn't expect her arrival will affect him much -- or interfere with his growing, disturbing interest in a long-ago house fire that plagues his dreams. Tally and Chase bond as they interview two Holocaust survivors for a sociology project, and become startlingly aware that the whole family is grappling with hidden secrets. Tally's presence could fracture the Janviers' carefully constructed world, knocking down the illusion of the white picket fence, and revealing a past that could destroy them -- or redeem them.
