Non è da lei. Mentre si fa largo tra i passanti, Kate Baron ripensa incredula alla telefonata che l’ha costretta a lasciare una riunione decisiva per la sua carriera: dopo essere stata scoperta a copiare, sua figlia Amelia è stata sospesa con effetto immediato dal preside della Grace Hall, uno degli istituti privati più esclusivi di New York. Non è da lei, continua a ripetersi Kate, finché non si trova davanti a una scena sconvolgente. L’ingresso della scuola è bloccato da un cordone di agenti di polizia, vigili del fuoco e paramedici. E la causa è proprio sua figlia. Per la vergogna, Amelia si è suicidata, lanciandosi dal tetto dell’edificio. Col suo mondo ormai in pezzi, Kate si chiude in un bozzolo di dolore e sensi di colpa, ma alcuni giorni dopo la tragedia riceve un inquietante SMS anonimo: Amelia non si è buttata. Cosa significa? Possibile che la verità sia diversa da quella sostenuta dalle autorità scolastiche? Possibile che ci sia un’altra verità? Kate deve saperlo. Deve raccogliere le forze e scandagliare la vita della figlia, una vita segnata da ombre e segreti di cui lei neppure sospettava l’esistenza. E, a poco a poco, una domanda inizia a tormentarla. Chi era veramente Amelia? Solo trovando la risposta, Kate potrà rendere giustizia alla figlia. Solo così riuscirà a porterà alla luce la verità di Amelia.

And in the days leading up to her disappearance, Kat has become aware of all too many of those. As Cleo digs deeper into her mother's disappearance, it becomes clear that the two have far more in common than they ever could have imagined.
