About the Book

2024 Best Book Club Selection, The International Firebird Awards 2024 International Pulpwood Queen and Timberwood Guys Bonus Book of the Year 2022 Hawthorne Prize, American Writing Awards 2021 Book of the Year (fiction), Best Women's Fiction, Best Suspense, American Writing Awards 2021 Best Debut Fiction, Winner Women's Fiction, Winner Suspense, Firebird Awards 2021 Winner Notable Book of the Year, Shelf Unbound Eight years ago, seasoned photojournalist Annie Hawkins Green barely survived a Taliban ambush that left her military escort dead and a young Afghan girl dying in her arms. Since then, she has managed to suppress her memories of that brutal day-until she returns to Afghanistan to teach a photography workshop at the secondary school for girls run by her expat best friend Darya Faludi. As the Taliban gain prominence in the once peaceful region, Annie's nightmares from her last time in-country come roaring back with a vengeance. But are they just dreams? The unshakeable feeling of a grim, watchful presence makes Annie think otherwise. As Annie struggles with her nightmares, more trouble brews with the suspicion that Darya's teenage daughter is sneaking away at night to meet her shadowy boyfriend. Meanwhile, Annie's own daughter wages war with her father and stepmother back home, feeding Annie's all-consuming mom-guilt. Her only comfort, a poetry-writing U.S. Naval officer who saved her life all those years ago, is now at the other end of a satellite phone 7,000 miles away. How can he possibly keep her safe? How can anyone?
