The Light in the Cracks

Alice has spent the last ten years believing she has no one.

Taken as a young child and raised in isolation, she has learned that silence keeps her safe, books can open worlds she will never see, and hope only makes the days harder to survive.

Her quiet existence is shattered when two teenage boys are thrown into the basement where she has lived for most of her life. They insist they know her, calling her by the only name she has left and claiming they have spent years searching for the little sister they never stopped loving.

Alice can't remember them.

She can't remember the family they describe.

She can't remember the fire that changed everything.

As the truth slowly unravels, Alice discovers that the hardest part of coming home is believing she was never forgotten.
