Description: Maricella McDonough, known simply as Chella to her family and friends, has been living a life of deception in Hanson Ridge, Texas, ever since the day of her Quincean era in Eagle Pass. Chella is riddled with guilt over the part she played in the death of her parents, her best friend Eva, and Eva's parents. She has taken those memories and stuffed them down into the deepest recesses of her mind and moved on. Now, many miles away and more than 25 years later, it has all finally caught up with her. The body of a young woman is found on the edge of Chella's property. As she investigates the mysterious death, she discovers the woman is connected with her hidden past.
