"Lizzie James is happy. She has a steady office job (with a steady stream of tray bakes), has had the same best friend since high-school, and she sees her family every Thursday night for take-out and trash TV. Granted, some members of her family she'd rather not see, and they definitely don't want to see her after what happened back then. But on the whole she's happy. Or somewhere close to it, anyway. Until a letter arrives one day from her best friend, Roman. A letter dated 12 years' before, the day he went missing. It brings all her painful memories flooding back: the new school she had to go to when she was ill, losing her beloved granddad, Hubble, and then losing her first love. As Lizzie uncovers the secrets of the letter, she starts to discover what really happened the year her life fell apart - and all avenues lead back to Roman. Who sent her the letter, and what happened to Roman?"--Publisher.
