"A family photograph is not a record of who was present. It is a record of who was allowed to remain."
Anna Rook, a meticulous paralegal, returns to her rural hometown in Blackwater County to settle her late aunt Margot's estate. But waiting on the dining room table is a chilling puzzle: seven carefully arranged family photo albums. Hidden within the pages are dozens of pictures featuring a young boy standing alongside Anna and her sister-a boy whose face has been violently scratched out with a razor blade.
Anna has no memory of him. Her mother, suffering from dementia, remembers his "cold hands." Her sister, Claire, claims total ignorance.
Applying her relentless investigative skills to her own family's history, Anna unearths a monstrous deception. Her father orchestrated a decades-long fraud, stealing the identity of Anna's deceased infant brother to pocket foster-care stipends for a neighbor's abandoned child. But the federal money kept coming long after the boy was framed for theft and discarded to a brutal county facility.
Now, to expose the truth, Anna must confront her complicit sister, risk her own career over a false affidavit she was coerced into signing at sixteen, and find the erased boy who has spent twenty-five years living in the shadows.
