Coming of Age

When her mother is killed in a riding accident, nine-year-old Amy is left mute and traumatized. She was there, but she cannot remember what happened and is haunted by a nightmare that she cannot fully explain. Gradually her voice returns, but not her memory. As Amy turns 16, the chance discovery of a hidden postcard gives her the vital clue she needs to uncover the truth about the past. It takes her to Italy, to a man she has never met — was he her mother's lover or her killer? The threads of the past lead back to the present, and Amy gradually remembers those horrific moments she thought were forever buried.
