Title: All the Truth

Author: Laura Brodie

Publication Date: July 3, 2012

Synopsis:

One night can alter a life forever… 
Emma Greene enjoys living in rural solitude with her husband and five-year-old daughter, Maggie, far away from her college students in Jackson, Virginia. But late one night, with her husband away and her daughter upstairs in bed, some of Emma’s students trespass on her property. The ensuing confrontation changes Emma and Maggie’s life forever.

Nine years later, still plagued by nightmares from that evening, Maggie is living with her father in the same small town, and entering her first year of high school. She develops problems in class when her math teacher, a strange and lonely woman, begins to exhibit an odd interest in her.

In order to let go of the past, Maggie begins to piece together all the truth of what happened that night—and discovers a story of anger, guilt, and redemption.

Isn't this cover just lovely? I'm guessing that the math teacher is Maggie's mother, and I'll be surprised if it isn't. But I just love these kinds of stories and am on the hunt for this book. It is definitely going in my next book order. I need to know what happened at their house all those years before and why Maggie's mother is not around anymore. Have you read this yet? How is it?
