2000s: A girl kills her best friend. Was it an accident or something more sinister?
Secrets of Southern Girls
What you need to know before your trail
Ten years ago, Julie Portland accidentally killed her best friend, Reba. What’s worse is she got away with it. Consumed by guilt, she left the small town of Lawrence Mill, Mississippi, and swore nothing would ever drag her back. Now, raising her daughter and struggling to make ends meet in Manhattan, Julie still can’t forget the past.
When August, Reba’s first love, begs Julie to come home to find the diary that Reba kept all those years ago, Julie’s past comes creeping back to haunt her. That diary could expose the shameful memories Julie has been running from, but it could also unearth the hidden truths that Reba left buried…and reveal that Julie isn’t the only one who feels responsible for Reba’s death

The Deep South
“In summer, the days stretch long like lazy animals and the sun’s rays reach like warm fingers down between buildings and slide gently across her face and arms. It’s harder then to think of dark things”
Imagine returning to a place where you were involved with the death of your best friend, small town Mississippi and having to go back there….. Years later, everything has changed apart from the memories of what happened back then.
New York
In winter, the city is strange. “The way the buildings take on new shapes, imposing and dangerous as dark strangers, the structures climbing upward and leaning down at the same time, peering at her through glass windows like a thousand scrutinizing eyes”
