Strangers and friends, neighbors and rescue workers, set up search parties and help vigils, praying for her safe return. Against all odds, she was found, alive, clinging to a storm drain. The girl from Widow Hills was a living miracle. Arden’s mother wrote a book. Fame followed. Fans and fan letters, creeps, and stalkers. And every year, the anniversary. It all became too much. As soon as she was old enough, Arden changed her name and disappeared from the public eye.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNow a young woman living hundreds of miles away, Arden goes by Olivia.

Soon Olivia feels like she’s being watched and begins sleepwalking again, like she did long ago, even waking up outside her home. Until late one night, she jolts awake in her yard. At her feet is the corpse of a man she knows—from her previous life, as Arden Maynor.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe girl from Widow Hills is once again at the center of this story in this “compulsive page-turner” (\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e“A hauntingly atmospheric and gorgeously written page-turner, \u003ci\u003eThe Girl from Widow Hills\u003c\/i\u003e is a deeply thought-provoking, riveting mystery about the complex weight of history and the dangerous power of the lies we tell ourselves.”\u003cb\u003e —Kimberly McCreight, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of \u003ci\u003eReconstructing Amelia \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eA Good Marriage\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Sleep-walking is creepy.
