Description:
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Night the Lights Went Out comes a stunning new novel.
1950s Georgetown, South Carolina. Lifelong best friends Ceecee, Margaret, and Bitty graduate from high school, bound by their shared dreams... wishes they write on ribbons and tie to an old tree. Constrained
by small town expectations, they plan a last grab at freedom: a
graduation trip to Myrtle Beach. But one night on the boardwalk will
change everything; and the sacrifices that follow will ripple through
three generations.
Present day. Larkin Lanier left Georgetown at 18, promising she’d
never return. But when her mother Ivy disappears, Larkin is called back
to her hometown. And when Ivy is found unconscious on the site of their family’s abandoned rice plantation, Larkin’s search for answers—why was her mother at Carrowmore?—lead her to a ribbon left in the girls’ old wishing tree: I know about Margaret. What happens next triggers Larkin’s unraveling of fifty-year-old secrets...secrets so dark they remain unspoken even amongst the three friends who share them.

wanted to be a writer—or become Scarlett O'Hara. In spite of these
aspirations, Karen pursued a degree in business and graduated cum laude

leaving the business world, she fulfilled her dream of becoming a writer
and wrote her first book. In the Shadow of the Moon was published in
August, 2000. Her books have since been nominated for numerous national
contests including the SIBA (Southeastern Booksellers Alliance) Fiction
Book of the Year, and has twice won the National Readers’ Choice Award.
