Carly Chambers has a secret. With her family constantly on the move and father's harsh rules keeping her close to home, it had been an easy secret to keep. Until now. This summer in a beach town on the Jersey coast everything is unraveling. Slipping out of her bedroom window each night, Carly only wants to steal a few hours of freedom on the boardwalk. Then comes the night when she discovers that a stranger has been watching her every move and asking questions about her. Carly is caught in a dangerous game of hiding from the stranger and dodging her abusive father. In this compelling novel by Theresa Martin Golding, Carly Chambers discovers that sometimes the only thing worse than revealing a painful secret--is keeping it.
