Mei Chen is twelve years old, and for three years she has stayed silent about the truth behind her mother's death.
Other people call it a tragedy, but Mei knows who is responsible, and she still lives under the same roof as the person she fears most.
She watches, pretends, and holds her tongue until her father's temper grows too dangerous to ignore.
After she opens up to her best friend, Tiana, she turns to her grandmother for protection, and the police begin looking more closely at the past.
Then strange calls, threats, and frightening encounters close in around her, as someone fights to keep that history hidden.
Mei wanted to be heard, yet speaking out has only drawn the danger nearer.
