From the back cover

Sarah wakes to the suffocating afternoon that ruined her life. Through a cracked door she once saw her brother Kevin with Mark, their father's oldest friend, and screamed. Her mother's rage, the family's blame, and Kevin's unforgiving hatred followed her all the way to a death she never escaped.

Now she is back, and this time she quietly pulls the door shut. No scream, no interruption. Kevin comes home stiff and limping, and Sarah cooks him a meal loaded with the habanero peppers she is violently allergic to, hiding her smile behind her bowl of plain rice.

A delivery arrives for Kevin, and a month later their mother finds what was hidden in the bathroom cabinet. The house is about to break again, and Sarah is no longer the one who will pay for it.

“Ugh… does it have to hurt? Go easy… I-I’ve never…”
