Some truths cut too deep.
Some betrayals leave permanent marks.
And some shadows stretch far into the present.

ZETTA CASTELLAN, an accomplished writer, chronicled her life in leather-bound journals she wrote by hand. With each passing year her marriage continued to crumble, so she found solace in the arms of another man. She believed she had at last attained the fulfilling life she desired. But her moment of happiness was ripped out from under her, leaving her to carry a two-decades-old secret to her grave.

ISABEL VINSON, a writer based in New York, takes on the most significant project of her career: documenting the life story of the late Zetta Castellan. Ready to put her skills and knowledge to the test, she arrives at Zetta's cabin. The moment she steps inside, she is captivated by the enchanting ambiance that surrounds her. After all, what's not to love about a cozy, remote cabin in the middle of the woods?

When Isabel stumbles upon a hidden letter, she is pulled into a past shrouded in secrets and betrayal. And the letter is only the beginning. Determined to uncover the truth, Isabel confronts the people who helped shape Zetta's fate. Phil, the man who married her. And Claudia, the woman who spent a lifetime guarding the truth.

As unexpected revelations unfold, Isabel realizes there's more to her role in this project than she ever imagined. With each piece of Zetta's story she unearths, Isabel begins to understand: the past isn't just something to uncover, it's something she must face.
