A small town rocked by tragedy. Two people shattered by a horrific past. What drove Margo to kill? 

A sinister secret turns deadly. 

Female mass shooters are very rare. In fact, they are so rare no significant studies have ever explored a female mass shooter. On March 20, 2005, Margaret Elise Ryan went on a rampage in her school, killing 5 students, and injuring 10 others. Why? There are never easy answers. Her sister, Gabrielle Ryan, witnessed not only her sister's killing spree but ultimate suicide. 10 years later Gabrielle returns to the fictional town of Seven Hills, New Jersey, not only to put Margo to rest but to find the answers after reading Margo's diary.

Dean Walker was one of Margo's victims. His best friend-dead-by her hands. He has held resentment and anger towards the Ryan family ever since that day. Not only that, he was about to speak to the girl of his dreams when the shooting happened. The girl of his dreams was none other than Gabrielle Ryan.

Can Dean find it in his heart to forgive Gabby and her family for what Margo did to him?

Impossible, you say? Nothing is ever impossible.

Gabrielle came home on a mission. There is no excuse for the atrocity her sister committed, but she's determined to find the person or persons responsible for making her sister snap.

Gabby needs answers. She needs to put Margo's spirit to rest. Not only for herself, but her family and she dedicated her life to solving the writing within Margo's diary.

This book is not your standard thriller. It explores one woman's path from a carefree teenage girl to a woman haunted by her sister's crimes. It's a story of how two people can stand up against the odds to find love and forgiveness within their shattered souls.

However, what Elena least expects is for her two worlds to collide all because of two boys she meets at school. * * * Elena headed towards the door. She was about to turn the doorknob when his next words froze her in place. "How do you think you'll sister will react if she finds out what you do?" asked Lucas. She slowly turned to face the two with a raised brow, "Meaning?" "Think about it," urged Cole, "How do you think everyone would react if they found out what you do during your spare time, especially your sister." She narrowed her eyes ."Are you blackmailing me?" she asked crossing her arms and raising her chin. "No, I never said that." Cole held up his hands yet grinning mischievously. "We're just saying that it would be in your best interest, along with ours if you joined us." shrugged Lucas. "You can't prove anything," she bluffed. A devious smile speared across Cole's face while Lucas grinned wickedly, "Oh, we both know you don't believe that." ------------------- The events and places are completely fictional along with the characters.
