And Don’t Look Back

After her mother’s death, a teen pieces together the truth of her family’s past and what her mom was hiding from in this “hauntingly atmospheric and utterly engrossing” (Jas Hammonds, award-winning author of We Deserve Monuments) thriller, perfect for fans of Courtney Summers and Tiffany D. Jackson.

Harlow Ford has spent her entire life running, caught in her mother’s wake as they flit from town to town, hiding from a presence Harlow isn’t even sure is real. In each new place, she takes on a new name and personality, leaving another piece of herself behind.

When Harlow and her mom set off on yet another 3 a.m. escape, they are involved in a car accident that leaves her mother fatally wounded. Before she dies, she tells Harlow two things: where to find the key to a safety deposit box and to never stop running.

In the box, Harlow finds cash, life insurance documents, fake IDs, and an “on-the-run” essentials kit. But she also finds a photograph of her mother as a teenager with two other girls, a deed to a house in a town she’s never heard of, and newspaper clippings about the disappearance of Eve Kennedy—Harlow’s grandmother.

With these clues and the chance to choose her own future for the first time, Harlow must decide: keep fleeing her mother’s ghosts or finally face the truth that has been chasing her all along.
