Before We Fell Apart

For the last five years, Brynn Riley has lived in a treehouse deep in the woods behind her family home with her golden retriever, hiding from the town that believes her brother murdered their parents the night of his high school graduation. That night—the night her world fell apart—Brynn remembers nothing.

Her brother sits on death row.

The mystery of her disappearance never faded.

And for five years she’s stayed silent . . . until now.

When Brynn’s former boyfriend, Wyatt Kennedy, finds her in the woods, everything begins to unravel. Memories surface in dreams. Faces return. So do the secrets that have been buried—about the night of the murders, about the family across the street, and the desperate choices she made to survive.

As the small Virginia town buzzes with her reappearance, Brynn must confront the life she left behind, the boy she never stopped loving, and the truth she’s been too afraid to remember.

Because the closer her dreams take her to that night, the more certain she becomes:

Her brother might be innocent.

And whoever murdered her parents could still be out there.
