The Night We Didn't Come Home

By: Patel, Sumer

Some secrets refuse to stay buried.

Fifteen years ago, six college friends drove into the mountains of Vermont for what was supposed to be one last weekend together.

By morning, only five came back.

Maddie Cross was never found.

No body.
No answers.
Just a silence the survivors learned never to break.

Until the impossible happens.

Maddie's credit card is used at a remote gas station.

Someone is alive.

Forced back together, the friends must return to the place where everything fell apart - and face the truth about the night they've spent half their lives trying to forget.

Because the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes:

Maddie wasn't just lost in the storm.

She was running from something.

And one of them knows why.

Haunting, emotionally gripping, and impossible to put down, Where the Light Doesn't Reach is a powerful novel about friendship, guilt, survival - and the dangerous cost of silence.

Some stories fade with time.

Others wait patiently...

for the moment when the truth can finally be heard.
