About this listen
From the internationally bestselling author of Firekeeper's Daughter comes an explosive story about seeking justice for a past that won't let you go.
Seventeen-year-old Lucy Smith is on the run. Years of hell as an Ojibwe child in foster care have taught her to be smart, cautious. But when the kind-eyed Mr. Jameson tracks her down and shows interest in her case, Lucy begins to wonder if things could be different.
Still, you can’t escape the past, no matter how fast you are. Soon Lucy is under investigation with the police. She knows she can clear her name from the chaos that has followed her everywhere, but saving the people she loves could cost Lucy her life.
It is an enjoyable mystery and an insight into the experiences of people who are mixed race, to those of Native American descent and the foster care system.

What really pulled me in wasn’t just the suspense — though the tension builds beautifully — but the heart. Lucy’s journey is about identity, safety, and finding a place to belong when trust feels like a risk. The story balances mystery with quiet, emotional moments, letting us sit with the weight of trauma, culture, and hope.
Boulley writes with tenderness and fire. The pacing is thoughtful, the stakes feel real, and Lucy’s voice stays with you. It’s a story about reclaiming family, facing the truth, and fighting for the future you deserve.
Powerful, grounded, and deeply human — this book lingers.
Deeply intriguing

The emotions and events often took my breath away as I empathised with the main character Lucy.
Lucy’s life has been tough. Abandoned by her mother from birth, she felt completely loved by her father who raised her and for the most part, it was just the two of them.
However, her father withheld a crucial detail: she was always told she was Mexican. At a later age, she discovers her true identity.
The book alternates between past and present, building a picture of the hardships she endured. We witness her grief at a young age and her resourcefulness as she struggles to make a life for herself alone.
Now, she lives a life of constant vigilance, all at a young age. This is because a lot of things in her past are coming against her.
Eventually, two people track her down, offering help. However, Lucy’s life becomes even more tumultuous as she grapples with trust and the possibility of someone ever having her back.
I’ll leave it there as I don’t want to spoil anything. This book will stay with me for a while. It was difficult to accept that it was inspired by real events, though the author’s note at the end touches on this.
*Bittersweet*
