Mary chose St. Hilaire, Maine, becuase it was very small and far away from New York City. And everyone in town knew right away she was running. A woman with a baby alone. A woman with dark glasses that didn't quite hide her horribly beaten face. She gave her name as MAre Amesbury, but that was not true. What was ture was her fear-and that she had not run far enough. For soon there would be murder, a rape charge, and suicide in St. Hilaire. And then one last betrayal: An ambitious woman journalist would write the story of Mare Amesbury that would haunt her to the grave.
