Summary: "Four years have passed since Justin Campbell's disappearance, a tragedy that rocked the small town of Southport, Texas. Did he run away? Was he kidnapped? Did he drown in the bay? . . . .Then, one afternoon, the impossible happens. The police call to report that Justin has been found only miles away, in the neighboring town, and, most important, he appears to be fine. Though the reunion is a miracle, Justin's homecoming exposes the deep rifts that have diminished his family, the wounds they all carry that may never fully heal. . . .When a reversal of fortune lays bare the family's greatest fears -- and offers perhaps the only hope for recovery -- each of them must fight to keep the ties that bind them from permanently tearing apart."--Book jacket.
