Description
An absent father and a negligent mother have placed Harriet in an untenable situation. She never planned to murder anyone, but things changed one ugly afternoon. Excelling in school helps Harriet thrive until she finds herself frightened and living alone in the family home at age eleven. As the situation deteriorates, she befriends two crows who become her companions.
The plot twists and turns as rescue appears, disappears, and appears again. With no family and only the friendship of the crows, Nevermore and Morrigan, Harriet is bound for the foster care system. She struggles to understand her emotions and those of the people around her. However, for Harriet, killing to solve a problem seems like a logical solution.
Caught in a web of her own making, Harriet can see only one way to remain undiscovered—she vows to kill only one more time.
Just one more—and she will be safe.
