"A thrilling story, remarkably told."
—Lara Prescott, New York Times bestselling author of The Secrets We Kept
Julia White is struggling: her bartending job isn't cutting it and her first book has sold hardly any copies. She's broke, barely able to make ends meet while drowning in her late mother's medical bills and reeling after a one-night stand with her ex-boyfriend, who's now completely ghosted her. Enter Johnathan Aster, world-renowned photographer, with a proposal: he has a never-before-seen photograph of a woman falling from a train bridge, clutching what appears to be a baby. And he wants Julia to research the story.
Alternating between present-day Brooklyn and Kentucky as it enters the 1960s, the story unfolds as Julia races to find answers: Who was the woman in the photograph? Why was she on the bridge? And what happened to the baby? Each detail is more propulsive than the last as Julia unravels the mystery surrounding the Fairchilds of Gray Station and discovers a story more staggering than anything she could have imagined.

      Cassandra Campbell and Ashley Klanac work together beautifully to unfold the mystery at the heart of this debut audiobook. Julia, a first-time novelist who is struggling to make ends meet as a bartender in contemporary Brooklyn, receives an offer from photographer Jonathan Aster. He wants Julia to research a photograph he took in 1964 of a woman falling from a bridge in Kentucky. Klanac portrays Julia with depth and authenticity as she grapples with an unplanned pregnancy while traveling to Kentucky to search for information behind the photograph. Campbell's expressive intonation and accents bring to life the small-town Kentucky residents whose lives intersect that of the woman in the photograph. An immersive, sometimes heartbreaking, tale of grief and redemption is well realized by two excellent narrators. M.J. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
