Description

When no one stands up to a bully, can anyone be truly safe? "Weaves together a tender and poignant coming-of-age story with a powerful narrative." -- Lyn Yeowart, author of The Silent Listener

Tormented at school, ten-year-old Jane wants a best friend more than anything. Her wish is answered when Acacia moves in next door, and a carefree summer break beckons. Yet as their friendship blossoms and secrets are shared, Acacia remains stubbornly guarded about her home life, especially when it comes to her mother's new boyfriend Daryl, a Harley-riding ladies' man.

At a neighborhood party, Jane stumbles onto a disturbing scene involving Daryl and is coerced into silence. Frightened and confused, she stays quiet, but when sounds of violence start emerging from Acacia's house, she hopes an adult will intervene. Instead, everyone turns a blind eye.

Jane's own family seems to be deteriorating into chaos too, as if the darkness in Acacia's house is spreading like ripples in a pond. It will end in disaster if no one acts, and it may end in tragedy if someone does...
"A brave and hugely necessary book." -- Tabitha Bird, author of The Emporium of Imagination
