LAKE AMANDA

Vicki Stark’s mother is overprotective, narcissistic, and often cruel and callous. She is also dying.

She has one last request: that Vicki scatter her ashes at Lake Amanda, three thousand miles away, at a precise location, on a precise date, at a precise time.

Pushing through long-held resentments, Vicki begrudgingly promises to fulfill the peculiar request. Her curiosity is piqued when she finds a love note that raises perplexing questions about her mother’s secretive past.

Compounding the strains of their relationship, Vicki is navigating turmoil in her personal life—her love life in shambles, her lifelong friend on the brink of death.

Under the weight of it all, she learns her mother has passed at a most inopportune time. Propelled by obligation and guilt, Vicki races to the lake to keep her promise, only to discover mind-numbing truths that cast her mother in an entirely new light, leaving Vicki forever changed.

The lake is waiting. And it holds secrets that will reshape Vicki’s understanding of her family, herself, and a mother she never knew.
