NATIONAL BESTSELLER * With more twists than a bag of pretzels, this compelling family saga may make you question what you think you know about your own relatives. -Cosmopolitan

Roanoke girls never last long around here. In the
end, we either run or we die.

After her mother’s suicide, fifteen year-old Lane
Roanoke came to live with her grandparents and fireball cousin, Allegra, on
their vast estate in rural Kansas. Lane knew little of her mother’s
mysterious family, but she quickly embraced life as one of the rich and
beautiful Roanoke girls. But when she discovered the dark truth at the heart
of the family, she ran…fast and far away.

Eleven years later, Lane is adrift in Los Angeles when
her grandfather calls to tell her Allegra has gone missing. Did she run too?
Or something worse? Unable to resist his pleas, Lane returns to help search,
and to ease her guilt at having left Allegra behind. Her homecoming may mean
a second chance with the boyfriend whose heart she broke that long ago
summer. But it also means facing the devastating secret that made her flee,
one she may not be strong enough to run from again.

As it weaves between Lane’s first Roanoke summer and
her return, The Roanoke Girls shocks and tantalizes, twisting its way through
revelation after mesmerizing revelation, exploring the secrets families keep
and the fierce and terrible love that both binds them together and rips them
apart.
