Summary: Three years after the Virgil County High School Massacre, a survivor grapples with guilt and truth. Her best friend Sarah's story of dying for her faith is a lie, one she knows firsthand. As Sarah's parents publish a book, this might be her last chance to reveal what really happened. But challenging the narrative could upset many who cherish Sarah's martyrdom. As she uncovers more, doubt creeps in—what's worse, staying silent or facing the fallout of honesty? In a world where stories hold power, she must choose between comfort and truth.
