Ruth Perkinson's third novel picks up where Piper's Someday leaves off. Piper returns to her hometown on a full scholarship to play basketball. She reconnects to a past she had wilfully and willingly long forgotten and the old demons that still linger on...
Returning to roots that are dark, roots that are secret, and roots that lead to an uncertain future, Piper finds out the past (most notably, her grandfather and his friend Clover, who is still fuming mad over an encounter with Piper six years earlier), is not the heaviest burden to carry. It is the mind she was born with: a daunting genius bearing down on her that threatens to take everything away, including her life.
This time she's fighting a battle to hold on to the one thing she's always counted on: her mind.
