Description: "Author Cassandra Fallows has achieved success baring her soul in her bestselling memoirs. But returning to Baltimore on the trail of new material she stumbles into a mystery which takes her back to her schooldays. Growing up, Cassandra's best friends were privileged Donna, shrewd Tisha and wild Fatima. But a fifth girl orbited their world - shy Calliope Jenkins - who, years later hit the headlines, accused of killing her infant son. Yet a body was never found, and Calliope refused to give up his whereabouts. Jailed for seven years, the court finally let her go. But why did she remain silent? And whatever happened to the little boy?"--Publisher description.
