No one blames Margaret. Not in so many words. Her mother insists to everyone who will listen that her daughter never even left the house that day. Left alone to make sense of tragedy, Margaret wills herself to forget these unbearable memories, replacing them with imagined stories full of faith and magic--that always end happily.

Poor Deer will not rest until Margaret faces the truth about her past and atones for her role in Agnes's death." --.
