博客來In the scorching Alabama summer of 1979, Jonny Phillips returns to his childhood town of Cedar Bluff, ready to follow in his Uncle Larry’s footsteps as an arborist. But it’s her who changes everything. Their connection is immediate-a whirlwind romance of laughter, whispered secrets, and stolen moments under the southern sun. Then, just as swiftly as she entered his life, she was gone, leaving no sign, no clue, and Jonny desperate for answers.
Thirty years later, stirred by the end of his marriage, Jonny heads back to Cedar Bluff to find her-but when he arrives, it’s as if she never existed. The town holds no memory of the woman he loved, and every trace of her has vanished. The town that once held their love now feels like a dream-or a warning. As he digs deeper, the line between memory and reality begins to crumble. Secrets lurk in every shadow, danger waits at every turn, and a love that refuses to die threatens to consume him. But the more he uncovers, the more he is haunted by a single merciless question... The question of her existence.
