Jane Jenkins, the privileged child of a socially correct and high
society mother has just been released from prison after 10 years on a
technicality. She was only 16 when she was sentenced to prison for the
murder of her mother. Jenkins has problems with her memory due to drug
use as a teenager and cannot even remember what happened on the day that
her mother died. She's not sure if she really killed her mother but her
lawyer, Noah, believes that she is innocent.
Noah provides Jane with a new identity and she takes off to try to find
out if there was anyone in her mother's past that might have wanted her
mother dead. Jane ends up in a small town in South Dakota and slowly
uncovers its secrets and her own family background.
I didn't like the character of Jane at first because I thought that she
was too smart-mouthed and shallow, But as the book progressed, Jane's
character grew on me. She turned out to be an astute detective who
unearths the truth about her mother's murder.
