Summary Ten years ago, Y/N left Ashwood after relentless bullying drove her and her family out of the only town she’d ever known. With nothing left to lose, she enlisted in the military, returning years later as a confident, tattooed woman who bears little resemblance to the frightened girl everyone remembers. Back in Ashwood to settle her late grandmother’s estate, Y/N has no interest in revenge or reconnecting with the people who made her life miserable. But when anonymous letters begin exposing long-buried secrets from their high school years, the entire town turns its attention to her. As old wounds reopen and the truth behind the night Y/N disappeared begins to unravel, everyone is forced to confront the consequences of the past—and discover that some secrets refuse to stay buried.
