Naomi Bowes' childhood ended the moment one night she decided to find out where her father had gone at such a late hour. Curiosity drove me forward, and in my soul there was a glimmer of hope that dad was preparing a gift for his birthday. The naive child had no idea what an unimaginably terrible discovery awaited her in the forest. There, among the abandoned ruins of an old house, Naomi learns her father's terrible secret, which will change her old life forever. Starting over is the only thing she will dream about for many years. But the terrible sins of Thomas Bowes will follow the girl on her heels.
