Eden Morris has a great life. She's good at school, has lots of friends, has a loving boyfriend, and is on the way to getting a swimming scholarship to Stanford. She's loved by everyone who knows her. There's only one problem. Her father is dead.
He died years ago, when Eden was 5, after a terrible car crash. Eden was in the car when it happened. Since then she's learned to file the memories of that fateful night into the back of her mind. She's worked hard to heal the wounds she gained--physical and emotional. She hardly thinks about what happened anymore.
But when Eden receives a letter from someone claiming to be her father, everything she'd worked so hard to forget comes tumbling back. Her grades slip, she barely talks to her friends, and swimming has become her last priority. Her boyfriend worries about her, but she pushes him away. She decides to investigate this mysterious letter. Is it just a mean prank? Is it someone pretending to be her father? Or is something more sinister going on?
