Book
Before she was Helen / Caroline B. Cooney.
Her life didn't turn out the way she expected - so she made herself a new one. When Clemmie goes next door to check on her difficult and unlikable neighbor, Dom, he isn't there. But something else is. Something stunning, beautiful, and inexplicable. Clemmie photographs the wondrous object on her cell phone and makes the irrevocable error of forwarding it. As the picture swirls over the internet, Clemmie tries desperately to keep a grip on her own personal network of secrets. Can fifty years of carefully hiding under names not her own be ruined by one careless picture? And although what Clemmie finds is a work of art, that the police find is a body...in a place where Clemmie wasn't supposed to be and where she left her fingerprints. Suddenly, the bland, quiet life Clemmie has built for herself in her sleepy South Carolina retirement community comes crashing down as her dark past surges into the present.
