Fabienne is dead. Her childhood best friend, Agn?s, receives the news in America, far from the French countryside where the two girls were raised ? the place that Fabienne helped Agn?s escape ten years ago. Now, Agn?s is free to tell her story. As children in a backwater town, they?d built a private world, invisible to everyone but themselves ? until Fabienne hatched the plan that would change everything, launching Agn?s on an epic trajectory through fame, fortune, and terrible loss.
